Apple provides a number of requirements for using a safety key with Apple ID

Additionally, there are a few Apple ID login choices that are incompatible with safety keys:

  • Windows users are unable to signal into iCloud.
  • Older devices that may not be running iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, or macOS 13.2 cannot receive signals.
  • Managed Apple IDs and child accounts are not supported.

Furthermore, an Apple Watch connected to a family member’s iPhone will no longer be supported. According to Apple, in order to utilise a safety key, you must sync your watch with your own iPhone.
