Apple's macOS Ventura, which was announced by Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering and unanimous event MVP Craig Federighi, offers new tools and updated features that focus on privacy, continuity, and productivity.

The biggest announcement comes in the form of privacy on Safari. Apple introduced a new feature called passkeys, which is a passwordless system that Apple describes as "unique digital keys that stay on device and are never stored on a web server, so hackers can’t leak them or trick users into sharing them." It uses biometric features Face ID or Touch ID to verify your identity and syncs to your devices with end-to-end encryption.
