Disposable, anonymous email forwarding is a massive step forward for privacy. I know we've all been doing it for a while, but this on a consumer level is fantastic.

Does this require that every device you'd wish to use to sign into the service be an Apple device?

That is, if you're signing up for Netflix with this, would you be able to access your account from a Roku box?

This is a natural step that I’ve been waiting for for years. This can almost remove the need for password typing, as you don’t even need one to unlock the device anymore. Let’s hope Microsoft does the same, and integrates with apple’s solution. A lot of people are on iOS+Win10 for laptops.

I imagine you'd have to get the private email from your iPhone, similar to how 1Password works.

Finally an excuse to delete my Facebook account completely. SSO was the only reason I was still using it.

I do wonder how many sites will actually implement it.

Per a screenshot in the Keynote, Sign in with Apple will also work on the Web, which will be interesting.

They already offer Apple Pay on the web. I imagine the experience will be similar here.

True, although that would imply Sign in with Apple would be Safari-only, which might be a hard sell.
