hello,

I want to use the latest addition in security i.e., passkeys across apple ecosystem. I have 2 iPhones (D1 and D2)

I have created passkey from D1 for some RP (eg. walmart.com)
D1 has a screen-lock using index-finger.
The passkey is successfully stored in my iCloudKeyChain

Now I go to D2
The screen-lock in D2 is made up of middle-finger. I configure my iCloudKeyChain on D2 using same apple-id

If I want to bring the same passkey on D2 that I stored from D1 in iCloudKeyChain , am I required to provide screen unlock finger-print of D1 i.e., index-finger ??

Thanks.

Each phone will require the biometrics or passcode used to unlock that particular phone. In this scenario, D1 would require D1's passcode or the index-finger and D2 would require D2's passcode or the middle-finger.

Biometrics/passcode are used to demonstrate authorized access to the device and not inherently tied to a particular passkey.
