It’s still unclear as to how this feature will work, but we expect that it will be similar to signing in to a website using Facebook or Google. Users would most likely be giving sites permission to access personal iCloud data (name and email address) in return for the convenient login abilities.
There is also a feature in the beta which uses the Camera app to scan for a QR code and ask for your Apple ID. It is still unclear as to how Apple may use this feature.
