Passwords are a pain. They’re easy to forget, people reuse them, and they’re more and more exposed to attack. Passkeys fix most of that.
In this webinar, Kinetics Group CTO Bill Lunam and NOC Lead Garreth Keet explain what passkeys are, how they work, and why Microsoft, Apple, Google and the rest of the industry are making them the future of signing in.
What you’ll learn
- what a passkey is and how it differs from a password
- why passkeys stand up much better to phishing and account takeover
- how to start using them across your business
- the common questions and worries people have when they switch
- where passkeys fit in a modern cyber security plan
What’s covered
Microsoft’s authentication changes. Bill and Garreth explain Microsoft’s plan to retire SMS and voice-call MFA, the move to passkeys, and what you and your staff need to do to get ready.
Setting passkeys up properly. The different types of passkeys, which devices and password managers support them, conditional access, and how to deal with shared logins and backups.
What it looks like for users. A walk-through of signing in with a passkey, step by step, with tips for setting up and everyday use.
Q&A. Scott, Bill and Garreth answer questions on QR code problems, device management, backups and shared logins.
It’s practical and jargon-free. If you’re still relying on text message codes, this is well worth a watch.
