Intercede, a pioneering digital identity management company, today announced the launch of its latest version of MyID CMS that enables the management of Passkeys with Microsoft Entra ID. Administrators can now use the credentials management system to seamlessly manage FIDO Passkeys on devices including the Yubico YubiKey family of products, that can then be used to securely authenticate to Entra ID protected resources.

The solution enables organizations to use seamless, secure authentication processes by combining the strengths of the Intercede, Yubico, and Microsoft technology platforms. By integrating Entra ID’s robust FIDO2 provisioning API’s with MyID CMS and YubiKeys, enterprises can now implement an end-to-end secure issuance and life cycle management solution for FIDO Passkeys, whether in Cloud or Hybrid Entra ID solutions, manage PKI and FIDO credentials on a single YubiKey, as well as support for using a Passkey as a Derived Credential.
Key highlights of MyID 12.14 Entra ID Capabilities
- Compliance with NIST SP800-63B digital identity guidelines
- Simplified FIDO passkey issuance and lifecycle management
- Manage passkeys alongside other credential types such as certificates
- Applying expiry dates to passkeys – automatically revoke the credential for fixed term workers, or for temporary passkey usage
- Support for passkeys as a derived credential, compliant with NIST SP800-157
“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in enterprise credential management,” said Allen Storey, Chief Product Officer at Intercede. “Our integrated solution enables customers to issue and manage passkeys at the highest level of security in compliance with NIST standards, making the use of passkeys in high-assurance environments a reality.”
Transforming enterprise security
Natee Pretikul, Principal Product Management Lead at Microsoft Security, commented: “At Microsoft, we are committed to transforming enterprise security through the implementation of passkey technology with Entra ID.
“Our newly developed FIDO2 provisioning APIs, coupled with collaborations with industry partners such as Intercede and Yubico, enable us to deliver comprehensive authentication solutions that can be deployed and managed at scale.”
Jeff Wallace – SVP Product at Yubico, stated: “By integrating Yubico’s trusted hardware-based authentication in the YubiKey with Intercede’s MyID CMS and Microsoft Entra ID, we are empowering organizations to securely manage the lifecycle of FIDO passkeys with a streamlined, end-to-end solution, that also includes previously available authentication protocols.”
Wallace added: “This collaboration ensures enterprises can uphold the highest security standards while simplifying credential management for both cloud and hybrid environments.”
The combined solution addresses growing enterprise needs for robust, flexible, and user-friendly phishing resistant authentication systems. By eliminating traditional complexity in credential management, the collaboration empowers organizations to implement more agile and secure identity verification strategies.
