Larry Hunt Security Keys for Apple ID is an optional advanced security feature designed for added protection from phishing, social engineering scams and many other cyberattacks. Security keys strengthens the two-factor authentication process and help prevent your second authentication factor from being intercepted or requested by an attacker. The idea is that even if a hacker does know your password, they can’t access your account without also having access to the physical key.
