This means you can now secure your Apple ID with FIDO-certified physical key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/hardware\">hardware<\/a> security keys are small physical devices that look like thumb drives that support USB-C or Near-field communication (NFC) to connect to a Mac or iPhone. The idea of hardware security keys is to use them as an additional verification step when using two-factor authentication for Apple IDs rather than the regular six-digit verification code shown on devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/security\">Security<\/a> keys must be in close proximity of the Apple device to authenticate a login. This provides greater protection against hackers trying to log into your account remotely. Through common methods such as phishing attacks targetted at stealing <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/apple\">Apple<\/a> ID credentials and the one-time passcodes sent via 2FA verifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other notable addition to the Apple iOS 16.3 release includes support for HomePod (2nd gen), <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/watchos\">watchOS <\/a>9.3, and a host of other fixes as listed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>New Unity wallpaper honors Black history and culture in celebration of Black History Month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security Keys for Apple ID allow users to strengthen the security of their account by requiring a physical security key as part of the two factor authentication sign in process on new devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support for HomePod (2nd generation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency SOS calls now require holding the side button with the up or down volume button and then releasing in order to prevent inadvertent emergency calls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixes an issue in Freeform where some drawing strokes created with Apple Pencil or your finger may not appear on shared boards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addresses an issue where the wallpaper may appear black on the Lock Screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixes an issue where horizontal lines may temporarily appear while waking up iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixes an issue where the Home Lock Screen widget does not accurately display Home app status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addresses an issue where Siri may not respond properly to music requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resolves issues where Siri requests in CarPlay may not be understood correctly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To install the iOS 16.3 update on your iPhone or iPad, do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>go to the Settings app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap General.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the Software Update tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap Download and Install.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your passcode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap Agree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap Agree again in the pop-up window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the update to download and follow the prompts to restart your iPhone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now have the latest Apple iOS 16.3 release running on your device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple announced iOS 16.3 release with long-awaited support for hardware security keys to provide extra protection against phishing attacks and unauthorized access to your devices.
