How to use Sign In with Apple to log into websites and apps with your Apple ID

• To use Sign In with Apple, you simply need to select the option when asked to log into a participating app or website.
• Selecting the Sign In with Apple option will let you log into a service using your Apple ID username and password.

If you've signed up for a website or app lately, you've probably noticed that most sites and apps offer you the option to sign in with Google or Facebook. If you choose one of those options, instead of creating new login information, you can use your pre-existing accounts to sign in.

Now, many sites let you do this with your Apple ID too. In this case, you'll use your Apple ID information to sign in.

Apple claims that their version of this service is more secure than others. They have strict privacy rules, which can prevent untrustworthy websites from tracking you.

If you want to use the Sign in with Apple feature, you'll need to be using an Apple device running iOS 13 or later, or your computer. You'll also need to have two-factor authentication enabled on your Apple ID, and if you're using an Apple device, you must be signed into iCloud.
