Passwords are dying. Microsoft is already moving users toward passkeys, whether organizations are ready or not.

This means organizations are being forced to rethink onboarding, recovery, Conditional Access, and user experience. The question is no longer if you will deploy passkeys. It's whether you'll be ready.

In this session, we'll cut through the marketing and look at how passkeys actually work in Microsoft Entra ID. You'll learn when to use device-bound versus synced passkeys, how passkey profiles and attestation affect your design and why onboarding often breaks in real tenants. More importantly, you'll learn how to make the right architectural decisions before your rollout locks you into choices that are difficult to reverse.
Expect live demos, real-world deployment lessons, and a few strong opinions from the trenches. We'll cover Temporary Access Pass, Conditional Access, registration campaigns, passkey providers, guest access, recovery strategies, and Microsoft's rapidly evolving roadmap.

You'll leave with a practical framework for planning and deploying passkeys in production, plus a checklist of mistakes to avoid before your users, admins, and help desk find them for you.
