Apple ID Security Keys App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — FIDO2 Hardware Keys, 安全密钥 & 安全金钥 zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS, security, password-manager, enterprise, and privacy app developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

• Market Apple ID Security Keys — physical FIDO2 hardware registered under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Security Keys for buyers who enable hardware second-factor on their Apple ID
• Describe YubiKey, Google Titan, NFC or USB-C FIDO keys, add at least two Security Keys, or tap a key instead of a six-digit code or trusted device on the en-US product page with terms like 安全密钥, 安全金钥, 添加安全密钥, or Apple ID 安全密钥 in mind for China buyers
• Finished honest hardware-key positioning or Apple ID hardening documentation in the US listing — not looking for WebAuthn attestation engineering or FIDO server integration help here
• Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Security Key gallery frames
• Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for FIDO credential registration, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch

If your lead feature is Passkeys or passwordless Sign in with a passkey — credentials saved in iCloud Keychain, not a physical key you tap — see Passkeys listing (zh-Hans). That page covers passwordless login; this page covers physical FIDO hardware for Apple ID 2FA only. If you market generic Sign in with Apple or Hide My Email instead, see Sign in with Apple listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Security Key listing copy vs FIDO engineering — two different jobs

Teams assume hardware-key compatibility messaging covers storefront language. Apple ID Security Key registration and App Store Connect actually separate account settings from product-page copy:

• Security Keys on the Apple ID — optional hardware second factor under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Security Keys. Buyers add at least two FIDO2 keys; on a new device they tap or insert a registered key instead of a six-digit verification code or trusted-device approval. System account behavior — outside AppLocale scope.
• Supported hardware — NFC or USB-C FIDO2 certified security keys from vendors such as YubiKey and Google Titan. Your listing may name compatible key brands; AppLocale does not procure keys or register them for buyers.
• Security Key marketing on the product page — description paragraphs, subtitle positioning, keywords, promotional text, and screenshot overlays that tell buyers your app aligns with Apple ID Security Keys, documents Add Security Key workflows, or educates about hardware second-factor sign-in. Connect text fields — this page.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China storefront. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and screenshot caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of FIDO compatibility claims in the app.

An app that documents Security Key workflows and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Apple ID Security Keys and hardware FIDO second-factor sign-in on the store page, not whether your code implements WebAuthn at runtime.

Security Keys vs Passkeys vs SMS 2FA — hard disambiguation

Apple and indie teams conflate three authentication stories. AppLocale covers physical FIDO Security Keys for Apple ID listing metadata — not the other features:

• Apple ID Security Keys (this page) — physical FIDO2 / WebAuthn hardware keys registered under Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Security Keys; add at least two keys; tap a key on new-device Apple ID sign-in instead of a six-digit code or trusted device. Gallery frames may show Add Security Key, YubiKey or Titan compatibility, or hardware second-factor badges. zh-Hans terms: 安全密钥, 安全金钥, 添加安全密钥, Apple ID 安全密钥, FIDO 安全密钥.
• Passkeys (different) — passwordless credentials saved in iCloud Keychain; Sign in with a passkey, Create a passkey, and passwordless login marketing. Covered on our Passkeys guide — not physical hardware you plug in or tap for Apple ID 2FA.
• SMS / trusted-device 2FA (different — see dedicated page) — six-digit verification codes on a trusted device or approval prompts for Apple Account sign-in under Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication. General Apple Account 2FA marketing — trusted devices, verification codes, Turn On Two-Factor Authentication — is covered on our Two-Factor Authentication guide — not hardware FIDO keys.
• Apple ID Recovery Key (different — see dedicated page) — user-generated 28-character Apple Account recovery key under Sign-In & Security → Recovery Key — 恢复密钥 vocabulary, not physical FIDO hardware. Covered on our Recovery Key guide — not 安全密钥.
• Sign in with Apple (different) — Continue with Apple and Hide My Email login badges. Covered on our Sign in with Apple guide — not Apple ID Security Key registration.
• Passwords app saved logins (related context only) — credential vault marketing may sit beside security apps, but Security Keys listing copy should focus on hardware FIDO second factor for Apple ID — not saved-password AutoFill as the lead unless your English source already claims that accurately. See Passwords listing when vault fill is your hero.

Your gallery may show a Security Key registration walkthrough on one frame and an in-app security dashboard on the next — but listing copy should name each claim accurately per frame. A hardware-key badge is not a passkey creation sheet, not an SMS code entry field, and not a Sign in with Apple button unless that is what the screenshot shows.

Security Keys vs Advanced Data Protection, Stolen Device Protection, and Contact Key Verification

Apple groups several account and device security toggles across Settings. Indie teams conflate them on one product page. AppLocale covers Security Keys listing metadata only — link to contrast pages when buyers need disambiguation:

• Advanced Data Protection for iCloud (different) — end-to-end encryption for most iCloud data categories under Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Advanced Data Protection. Separate iCloud security story — not hardware FIDO keys for Apple ID sign-in. See Advanced Data Protection listing when that is your lead feature.
• Stolen Device Protection (different) — optional theft hardening under Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Stolen Device Protection — 失窃设备保护 and 安全延迟 vocabulary — not FIDO hardware key registration. See Stolen Device Protection listing when that is your lead feature.
• Contact Key Verification (different) — iMessage contact-key alerts under Settings → Apple Account → Contact Key Verification — 联系人密钥验证 vocabulary — not Apple ID Security Keys. See Contact Key Verification listing when that is your lead feature.
• Lockdown Mode, Private Relay, Hide My Email (different) — separate Settings paths with unrelated buyer vocabulary. Do not keyword-stuff those terms when English only markets Security Keys.

Security-conscious apps may mention several Apple hardening features across one description — but each gallery frame and keyword should match the feature the screenshot actually shows. A YubiKey registration overlay is not an Advanced Data Protection toggle walkthrough.

What Apple ID Security Keys actually do — listing honesty

Apple lets Apple ID accounts register physical FIDO2 security keys as a second factor for sign-in. Under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Security Keys, buyers add at least two keys — then on a new device they can tap or insert a registered key instead of entering a six-digit verification code or approving from a trusted device. Third-party apps may complement this by educating buyers, documenting compatible key brands, or aligning security UX with hardware second-factor workflows. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:

• If your app educates about Security Keys — zh-Hans copy can describe why buyers should register 安全密钥, what 添加安全密钥 means, or how two registered keys protect account recovery — without claiming your app registers keys on behalf of buyers.
• If your app aligns with hardware-key workflows — description and screenshot overlays should name the security benefits you deliver (FIDO 安全密钥, YubiKey 兼容, 添加安全密钥) in commerce-idiomatic Chinese, not generic "100% unhackable" overclaims.
• Separate Security Keys from Passkeys in copy — passkeys are passwordless iCloud Keychain credentials; Security Keys are physical hardware for Apple ID 2FA. Listing vocabulary must follow your English lead feature and gallery frames.
• If your US page overclaims — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not invent broader Security Key scope than your screenshots and description support.

Clear zh-Hans copy helps security-conscious buyers understand your hardware-key story before install. It does not replace FIDO engineering in the binary, security review of your threat model, or Apple's review decisions.

Where English Security Key copy shows on the China product page

Security, password-manager, and enterprise apps often lead marketing screenshots with Security Key registration UI, YubiKey compatibility badges, or hardware second-factor positioning — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside Sign-In & Security settings:

• Screenshot overlay badges — "Security Keys", "Add Security Key", "Tap your FIDO key", "YubiKey compatible", "Hardware second factor for Apple ID", "Register two security keys" on gallery frames
• Description paragraphs — English value props ("Built for Apple ID Security Keys users", "Supports FIDO2 hardware keys", "Tap your key instead of a verification code") that China readers skim past
• Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 安全密钥, 安全金钥, FIDO 安全密钥, YubiKey, or Apple ID 安全密钥 when buyers filter for hardware-key-hardening apps
• Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching Security Keys in English above the description
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but Security Key screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 that conflates 安全密钥 (Security Keys) with 通行密钥 (Passkeys) or generic 双重认证 (two-factor) SMS copy on store pages

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps security-conscious buyers understand your hardware-key story before install. It does not replace FIDO runtime integration, security engineering, or Apple's review decisions.

Security Key–specific vocabulary — what translates differently in zh-Hans

Hardware-key marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general localization guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers evaluate Apple ID Security Keys — not a literal paste of US marketing:

设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 双重认证 → 安全密钥 (添加安全密钥)

Apple's Chinese Settings path is 设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 双重认证 → 安全密钥, with the registration action labeled 添加安全密钥. Screenshot walkthroughs and caption lines should mirror that path — not English "Sign-In & Security" badges alone, not 面容 ID 与密码 (Stolen Device Protection), and not iCloud (Advanced Data Protection). AppLocale uses the labels buyers see on a zh-Hans iPhone when your English gallery shows the Security Keys toggle or Add Security Key sheet.

安全密钥 vs 安全金钥

Apple's system UI uses 安全密钥 for the feature name under 双重认证. Some security marketing also uses 安全金钥 when emphasizing physical key hardware. AppLocale picks the term buyers recognize on each screenshot — a Settings walkthrough needs 安全密钥-friendly phrasing; a YubiKey product headline may use 安全金钥 when accurate to your English source.

添加安全密钥 (Add Security Key)

US pages use "Add Security Key" or "Register your FIDO key." China storefront copy uses 添加安全密钥 on frames that walk buyers through the registration sheet. Do not substitute 创建通行密钥 (Create a passkey) — that is Passkey vocabulary, not Security Key registration.

Apple ID 安全密钥 (Apple ID Security Keys)

When your English subtitle or description says "Apple ID Security Keys" as a product category, zh-Hans buyers search Apple ID 安全密钥 or FIDO 安全密钥. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual scope — hardware second factor for Apple ID sign-in, not app-level WebAuthn login unless your English source genuinely markets both separately.

安全密钥 vs 六位验证码 (Security Key vs six-digit code)

Security Keys replace the six-digit verification code or trusted-device prompt with a physical key tap on new-device Apple ID sign-in. zh-Hans marketing may contrast 安全密钥 or 添加安全密钥 with 六位验证码 or 受信任设备 approval — accurate to Apple's hardware-key story, not the SMS or trusted-device 2FA flow as your lead claim, and not Passkey (通行密钥) vocabulary.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need hardware-key search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 安全密钥, FIDO, YubiKey, and Apple ID 安全密钥 each signal different intent from 通行密钥 (Passkeys) or generic 双重认证 keywords.

Caption lines vs burned-in badges

Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Add Security Key" headlines on gallery frames showing 设置 → 登录与安全性 → 双重认证 → 安全密钥 — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.

Before / after — Security Key listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)

Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Passkeys, SMS 2FA, or Sign in with Apple copy:

• Screenshot caption — Before: Add a Security Key for Apple ID → After: 为 Apple ID 添加安全密钥
• Settings walkthrough caption — Before: Settings → Sign-In & Security → Security Keys → After: 设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 双重认证 → 安全密钥
• Description line — Before: Supports YubiKey and Titan FIDO2 keys as your Apple ID second factor. → After: 支持 YubiKey 与 Titan FIDO2 密钥作为 Apple ID 二次验证。
• Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: FIDO Security Keys → After: FIDO 安全密钥·Apple ID
• Screenshot caption — Before: Tap your key instead of a code → After: 用安全密钥代替验证码登录
• Keyword field — Before: Security Keys,FIDO2,YubiKey,Apple ID,hardware key → After: 安全密钥,安全金钥,FIDO,Apple ID安全密钥,YubiKey,硬件密钥
• Promotional text — Before: Now documents Apple ID Security Key setup → After: 现已说明 Apple ID 安全密钥设置

Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Security Key surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Promotional text in Simplified Chinese when your hardware-key pitch lives in promo text rather than the long description.

Common mistakes on Security Key zh-Hans listings

• Leaving "Security Keys" untranslated — Apple and buyers expect 安全密钥 or 安全金钥 in zh-Hans regions; English-only overlay lines on otherwise Chinese copy looks unfinished
• Conflating Security Keys with Passkeys — 通行密钥 and 无密码登录 belong on the Passkeys guide; physical FIDO hardware for Apple ID 2FA is this page
• Machine-translated "Security Key" as 安全钥匙 alone — may confuse buyers searching Apple's official 安全密钥 terminology
• Conflating Security Keys with SMS or trusted-device 2FA — six-digit code and trusted-device approval are the flow Security Keys replace — not the lead marketing story unless your English source genuinely leads with hardware keys only
• Conflating Security Keys with Contact Key Verification — iMessage key alerts are not Apple ID FIDO registration; see Contact Key Verification listing for that separate story
• Conflating Security Keys with Advanced Data Protection — iCloud end-to-end encryption copy is not hardware second-factor sign-in unless your gallery frames show both accurately
• Claiming FIDO engineering in listing copy — product-page copy should describe user-facing hardware-key benefits, not WebAuthn attestation API documentation
• Overpromising account security outcomes — honest copy describes what your app does when Security Keys are enabled on the buyer's Apple ID; we do not guarantee buyers avoid account compromise
• Assuming FIDO compatibility localizes the store page — engineering and App Store metadata are independent workstreams

What AppLocale delivers for Security Key apps on zh-Hans

This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Apple ID Security Keys and FIDO hardware second-factor marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:

• Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal 安全密钥 to China searchers
• Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference Security Keys or FIDO hardware without stuffing raw English badge text
• Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 安全密钥, 安全金钥, FIDO 安全密钥, Apple ID 安全密钥, YubiKey, and hardware-key-conscious utility terms in your category
• Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on Security Keys and hardware second-factor features you already ship — without English-only security jargon
• Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
• Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show Security Key UI ("安全密钥", "添加安全密钥", "FIDO 硬件密钥")
• English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on hardware-key promises

We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Security Keys, FIDO2, YubiKey, Titan, Add Security Key, or hardware Apple ID second factor — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent security features your app does not ship.

Connect checklist before you order Security Key listing copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans localization row exists; adding China under Pricing and Availability alone does not fill it
2. Audit five text fields — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text (if used) saved in zh-Hans, not placeholder English
3. List screenshot frames that show Security Key UI — note which gallery images show Settings → Sign-In & Security → Security Keys, Add Security Key sheets, or YubiKey/Titan compatibility so caption lines match frame order
4. Export current English captions — overlay text from Connect or your design spreadsheet, including any "Security Keys", "Add Security Key", "FIDO2", or "Tap your key instead of a code" boilerplate
5. Confirm feature scope honestly — note whether your app educates about the system toggle, documents compatible key brands, or aligns UX with hardware second-factor workflows — so zh-Hans copy does not overclaim account-wide hardening your app does not deliver
6. Separate Security Keys from Passkeys in your intake — if your English listing mixes both, flag which frames are hardware-key vs passkey so zh-Hans copy stays accurate
7. Skip engineering tasks here — WebAuthn attestation, FIDO server verification, entitlement review, and Security Key QA stay with your dev team

AppLocale FAQ

What are Apple ID Security Keys and why does listing copy matter?

Security Keys are physical FIDO2 hardware registered under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Security Keys. Buyers add at least two keys and can tap a key on new-device Apple ID sign-in instead of a six-digit code or trusted-device approval. Marketing that awareness on your en-US page does not auto-fill zh-Hans Connect fields.

Does mentioning Security Keys auto-translate my China listing?

No. Security Keys are a system Apple ID setting on the buyer's account — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback on the product page.

What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Security Key apps?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines that mention Security Keys, FIDO2 hardware keys, YubiKey, Titan, or Add Security Key — rewritten from your English originals with terms like 安全密钥, 安全金钥, 添加安全密钥, and Apple ID 安全密钥 where accurate.

How is this different from Passkeys?

Passkeys are passwordless iCloud Keychain credentials — Sign in with a passkey and Create a passkey marketing. Security Keys are physical FIDO hardware you tap or insert for Apple ID 2FA. See Passkeys listing (zh-Hans) when passwordless login is your lead — not this page.

How is this different from SMS or trusted-device two-factor authentication?

Security Keys replace verification codes and trusted-device prompts with a hardware key tap. This page covers hardware FIDO key marketing only — not general 2FA badge copy or SMS verification as the lead story.

Does AppLocale implement Security Keys or configure WebAuthn?

No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. FIDO attestation, WebAuthn server verification, entitlements, and in-app authentication logic are outside AppLocale scope. We rewrite how you describe existing Security Key features on the store page — we do not implement them in the app or register keys for buyers.

What character limits apply to zh-Hans Security Key fields?

App name and subtitle are each up to 30 characters. Keywords allow up to 100 characters. Description and screenshot caption lines have longer limits but should stay concise — especially overlays that must fit on-device mockups.

What do I send after payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines mentioning Security Keys or FIDO hardware keys, target locales (e.g. zh-Hans), and deadline. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt.

Is this machine translation?

No. We rewrite Security Key and FIDO hardware-key listing copy by hand. We do not paste Google Translate or ChatGPT output into deliverables.
