Sick of always manually typing in your password on Elon Musk's X? Do multiple people in your household use your devices so things like password managers aren't always the most secure?
Well, if you're an X user with an iOS device, you're in luck. The platform formerly known as Twitter just launchedits passkeys login option for iPhone and iPad users.

What does this mean for you? Face ID or Touch ID can now be used to login to your X account instead of a password.
How to set up Face ID or Touch ID on X
The steps to setup Passkeys on X for iOS are fairly simple. Mashable was able to set it up in seconds. Let's run through the steps so you can access X with Face ID or Touch ID.
Open the X app and log into your account.
In the sidebar menu, tap on Settings and Support.
From the drop down menu, tap on Settings and privacy.
Tap on Security and account access.
In the new list of options that open, select Security.
On the Security page, under the Additional password protection section, tap the slider for Passkey to turn it on.
Type in your X account password and tap Confirm.
On the next screen, tap on Add a passkey
Click Continue on the iPhone pop-up prompt that asks if you want to Use Face ID to sign in.
And that's it!
Don't worry about Elon
We should note that some accounts that Mashable tested this on did not yet have the passkey option yet. According to X's FAQ, new accounts will not be able to use this feature. However, the accounts in our test were not new, so it seems like passkeys may still be rolling out to all users.
And, perhaps the most important question that some of you may be asking is: Does Passkeys provide Elon Musk with my biometric data? Your fingerprints and facial biometric data all remain on your device, according to Apple. Third-party apps, in this case Elon Musk's X, never have access to this data.
