Apple just released iOS 16.3 beta 1 to registered developers just one day after the public release of iOS 16.2, now taking about the size of this update you could see it came to over 5 gigabytes on the iPhone 14 series of course it is going to be a large update anytime you go from a final to a beta or vice versa and if you head to you iPhone setting >> General >>About >> 16.3 we could see the new build number is 20D5024e.
If we go down a little bit further you can see the modem firmware is 1.40.00 for the iPhone 14 series.
Alright so now what's new here in iOS 16.3 beta1 the first thing is this we now have a physical security key support for adding another layer of security for your Apple ID account so if you go into the setting and go to your iCloud and then go to password and security we have a new section in here that says " Add Security Keys and it says physical security keys provide a strong form of two-factor authentication. now once you tap on Add Security Keys that now it says the Strongest Account Security: physical security keys provide strong protection against phishing (Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers.) and unauthorized access to your accounts and it does also replace verification codes so now you can replace text message verification or verification from another device with a security key which is a lot more secure and people are not able to kind of spoof (In the context of information security, and especially network security, a spoofing attack is a situation in which a person or program successfully identifies as another by falsifying data, to gain an illegitimate advantage.) that and according to 95 Mac this system right here the security key system integrates with its device-to-device transfer process. So once authenticated your iPhone with the security Key, you won't have to do it again if you get a new iPhone so long as you use the device-to-device setup transfer process when setting up a new iPhone.
So, you won't have to do this again if you get a new iPhone so let's go ahead and tap on add a security key and see what this process is like it does, say you need two security keys so it says you need two compatible security keys this makes sure you can always sign into your account even if you lose one so it looks like you will need to get another YubiKey, anyways and you do need to sign it out of inactive devices, so you can sign it out of these, alright so here we go it says enter and activate your first security key.
