Microsoft is pushing passkey in Authenticator, should we follow?

The Authenticator passkey is device-bound and phishing-resistant, better than push-notify with number match. Migration is phased.

Try this first

  1. 1Entra > Authentication methods > enable Passkey (Microsoft Authenticator)
  2. 2Tell users what to do in the app
  3. 3Optionally retire push-MFA after 4 weeks adoption
  4. 4Admins first, then pilot group, then rest
