Sign in with Apple is a quick and private way to sign in to apps and websites. It uses your Apple Account to securely create an account with an app or website—no need to fill out a form, verify your email address, or choose a new password—and simplifies signing in each time.
Create an account for an app or website
On your Mac, when you’re asked to create an account for an app or a website, click the button to sign in or continue with Apple, if available.
Follow the onscreen instructions, keeping the following in mind. (Options may vary depending on the app or website.)
If you don’t want to use your real name, click the Name field, then enter a different name.
If you have more than one email address associated with your Apple Account, choose which email to use for the app or website.
If you prefer to keep your email address private, click Hide My Email. Apple generates a random and unique email address that’s used to forward emails from the app or website to your real email address.
Sign in to your account for an app or website
On your Mac, go to an app or website, then click the button to sign in or continue with Apple.
Enter your login password on your Mac (you may need to enter your Apple Account password instead) or use Touch ID.
You can also sign in from your other devices—iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch—where you’re signed in to the same AppleAccount.
Change Sign in with Apple settings for an app or website
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
If you don’t see your name, click “Sign in,” enter your Apple Account email address or phone number, then enter your password.
Click Sign in with Apple.
Click an app or website, then do any of the following:
Turn off forwarding email: Turn off Forward To. You won’t receive any further emails from the app or website.
Stop using Sign in with Apple: Click Delete.
The next time you use this app or website, you may be asked to create a new account.
Change the address used to forward email from apps and websites
If you chose to hide your email when you created an account for an app or website, and you have more than one email address associated with your Apple Account, you can change the address that receives forwarded email. See Use Hide My Email.
Share your Sign in with Apple accounts
Your Sign in with Apple accounts can be shared with your family members and close friends using the Passwords app. See Share passwords or passkeys with people you trust in the Passwords User Guide for Mac.
