Discover the evolving landscape of passwordless authentication as we explore what’s available today, what’s on the way out, and how to design future-ready identity strategies. In this technically-focused session, we’ll break down the current state of authentication solutions across Microsoft Entra ID and beyond, including FIDO2, biometrics, passkeys, and mobile-based MFA methods. We’ll clarify what’s being deprecated (like SMS-based MFA), examine what’s gaining traction, and highlight preview features to watch.

You’ll gain real-world insights into deployment architectures, security trade-offs, and how to drive user adoption in hybrid or cloud-native environments. We’ll also cover key considerations for firstline workers, legacy app access, and compliance implications. Expect architectural diagrams, live demos, and war stories from actual rollouts—making this session highly practical for architects and identity specialists planning their next move in modern authentication.
