Description

Passkeys have been around for a few years now, so the biggest question is: why should you consider implementing them if you haven’t already? Passkeys are a username and password replacement, allowing end users to log in using biometrics, among other options. They represent a simpler and more secure solution for those using personal devices.

At Feide (Norway), we deliver the national solution for secure login in education and research in Norway. Here, there is a significant presence of major cloud vendors, particularly Microsoft. Many companies use Entra ID as an SSO solution, which already includes a passkey option. So, why would we go through the effort of implementing it ourselves?
