Features

Support for Provisioning FIDO2 Security Keys (passkeys) for Microsoft Entra ID

With this enhancement, Entra ID customers can now manage a broad range of authentication credentials—including passkeys and PKI-based X.509 certificates—through a single unified platform. By consolidating credential management and streamlining onboarding and self-service workflows, Axiad Conductor empowers organizations to deploy phishing-resistant authentication across their entire Microsoft Entra ID environment.

Important

To enable this functionality, version 1.8.0+ of both the Axiad Conductor Browser Extension and Axiad Conductor OS Bridge binaries is required

For more information, please refer to the following links:

• Axiad Conductor Browser Extension (Previously Axiad Portal Extension)

• Axiad Conductor OS Bridge (Previously WebPCSC)

Included as part of the feature:

• New option for end users to register a Passkey in Microsoft Entra ID via the Axiad Conductor Unified Portal

• Users can view all Passkeys registered to their Microsoft Entra ID account in the Axiad Conductor Unified Portal

• Operators can view all the Passkeys associated with their organization's Microsoft Entra ID user accounts via the Axiad Conductor Unified Portal

Coming Soon

A new version of Axiad Conductor OS Bridge (previously WebPCSC) will allow Passkey registration capabilities on Apple macOS. Currently Passkey registration is only available on Microsoft Windows.
