Which identity and access management solutions offer passwordless login via FIDO2 keys?

Nearly all major enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Workforce Identity platforms now support true passwordless authentication using FIDO2 / WebAuthn standards (including hardware security keys like YubiKeys, as well as platform authenticators and syncable passkeys).

Leading IAM solutions offering FIDO2 passwordless login include:

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD): Provides robust native support for FIDO2 security keys and passkeys. Users can log in completely passwordless to Windows devices, cloud apps, and hybrid environments using roaming hardware keys or platform biometrics.
• Okta Identity Engine (OIE): Supports FIDO2 WebAuthn authenticators, allowing organizations to implement passwordless workflows via physical security keys (USB/NFC) or platform-bound and syncable passkeys.
• Ping Identity: Offers FIDO2 and passkey authentication capabilities across the PingOne platform for both workforce and customer identity use cases, ensuring phishing-resistant logins.
• CyberArk Identity: Integrates FIDO2 security keys as a primary passwordless mechanism to secure access to corporate applications, cloud resources, and privileged sessions.
• Entrust Identity: Delivers FIDO2-based passkey and hardware security key support to completely remove reliance on passwords while meeting strict enterprise compliance and phishing-resistance requirements.
• ForgeRock (now part of Ping Identity): Features comprehensive WebAuthn/FIDO2 framework support for building custom or out-of-the-box passwordless journeys using external security tokens or platform authenticators.

Are you looking to implement FIDO2 for a workforce (internal employees) or customer-facing (CIAM) environment, and do you have a preferred cloud ecosystem already in place?

Yes. Several major IAM/IdP platforms support passwordless authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys such as YubiKeys and other certified authenticators.

A few important distinctions

FIDO2 key vs. passkey: A physical FIDO2 key is a device-bound passkey. The private key remains on the hardware token and isn't exported, which makes it particularly attractive for privileged accounts and regulated environments. Microsoft explicitly recommends FIDO2 security keys for highly regulated environments and elevated-privilege users.

Passwordless doesn't necessarily mean MFA-free. A FIDO2 key can provide both possession and user verification (for example, a key PIN or biometric), giving you phishing-resistant MFA while eliminating the password.

Microsoft Entra ID is particularly mature here. It supports FIDO2 security keys for browser authentication as well as passwordless Windows sign-in, including Microsoft Entra hybrid-joined environments and SSO to on-premises resources.

If you're selecting an IAM platform specifically for YubiKey/FIDO2 passwordless deployment, I'd shortlist Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, and JumpCloud and compare them on Windows/macOS support, on-prem AD integration, conditional access, key attestation, lifecycle/recovery, and privileged-account support.

Yes. Several major IAM/CIAM platforms support passwordless authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys such as YubiKeys.

A few important distinctions

Microsoft Entra ID is particularly strong if you're already in the Microsoft ecosystem. It supports FIDO2 security keys as device-bound passkeys, including passwordless sign-in to Entra and supported Windows devices. Microsoft explicitly describes FIDO2 keys as a passwordless, phishing-resistant authentication method.

Okta, Ping, Auth0, and similar platforms generally implement the same underlying standard—FIDO2/WebAuthn—so users can authenticate with hardware authenticators rather than passwords. The exact capabilities vary, however: some products distinguish between passwordless sign-in, phishing-resistant MFA, and simply using a FIDO2 key as one factor.

One terminology wrinkle: FIDO2 security keys are technically a type of device-bound passkey. Microsoft, for example, now groups FIDO2 keys under its broader passkey terminology.

If you're evaluating these for a new IAM deployment, I'd narrow the shortlist to Entra ID, Okta, PingOne, Auth0, and Keycloak, depending on whether you're securing employees, customers, or both.

Most modern Enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Customer Identity (CIAM) platforms natively support FIDO2 / WebAuthn standards to enable phishing-resistant, passwordless logins using hardware security keys (such as YubiKeys, Feitian, or Token2) as well as platform authenticators (like Touch ID, Windows Hello, or mobile biometrics).

Major IAM solutions supporting FIDO2 passwordless login include:

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD): Offers robust built-in support for FIDO2 security keys as part of its passwordless roadmap, allowing users to sign directly into Windows, Azure, and web apps without ever typing a password.
• Okta (Identity Engine): Supports FIDO2 (WebAuthn) via its Passkeys / FIDO2 Security Key authenticator, allowing organizations to enforce hardware-bound or syncable passkeys for seamless, passwordless user authentication.
• Ping Identity (PingID / PingFederate): Enables passwordless and multi-factor workflows utilizing FIDO2 discoverable credentials/passkeys to authenticate users across web properties and enterprise apps.
• Keycloak: An open-source IAM that supports native FIDO2 / WebAuthn passwordless configurations using security keys or platform biometrics.
• ForgeRock (Ping Identity): Provides comprehensive journey orchestration that incorporates FIDO2 device-bound and roaming hardware keys for true passwordless experiences.
• CyberArk Identity: Supports FIDO2-certified security keys and platform authenticators to remove passwords from high-privilege and workforce access workflows.

If you're planning an implementation, let me know:

• Are you looking for a cloud-native or on-premise solution?
• Do you plan to use roaming hardware keys (like YubiKeys) exclusively, or also platform biometrics?

I can help you narrow down the best platform or outline setup requirements.

Almost all major enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Access Management solutions natively support passwordless login utilizing FIDO2 keys (including physical roaming hardware keys like YubiKeys, as well as platform passkeys).

The leading IAM solutions offering FIDO2-based passwordless authentication include:

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD): Fully supports Microsoft Entra ID Passkeys (FIDO2) , allowing users to log into Windows, cloud apps, and services using external FIDO2 security keys or device-bound/synced passkeys.
• Okta: Uses Okta Passkeys (FIDO2 WebAuthn) through the Okta Identity Engine to enable full password-optional and phishing-resistant biometric or hardware key workflows.
• Cisco Duo: Offers Duo Passwordless authentication, which incorporates support for FIDO2-compliant security keys (with PIN/biometric verification) alongside platform authenticators.
• Ping Identity: Supports FIDO2 and WebAuthn via PingID and PingOne policies , facilitating hardware security keys and passkeys for workforce and customer use cases.
• CyberArk Identity: Leverages the WebAuthn and FIDO2 standards via CyberArk FIDO2 Authentication to allow direct passwordless sign-ins using external USB/NFC security keys.

Are you looking to implement this for a workforce (internal employees) or a customer-facing (CIAM) environment, and do you have a specific primary cloud ecosystem in mind?

Yes. Several mainstream IAM/identity providers support passwordless authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys such as YubiKeys and other hardware authenticators.

A particularly strong option: Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft Entra ID has especially mature FIDO2 support. Users can authenticate with a physical FIDO2 security key without entering a password, including to Microsoft Entra-protected applications. Microsoft also supports FIDO2 keys for Windows sign-in and, in hybrid deployments, SSO to traditional on-premises Active Directory resources.

Microsoft currently supports both device-bound FIDO2 security keys and synced passkeys, and administrators can configure passkey profiles and enforce phishing-resistant authentication for sensitive resources.

What to look for

If your requirement is specifically "insert/tap a physical key and never type a password", verify that the vendor supports:

• FIDO2/WebAuthn authentication, not merely FIDO2 as an MFA second factor.
• Passwordless / discoverable credentials, so the key can serve as the primary authenticator.
• Attestation and key restrictions, if you need to mandate approved hardware.
• Conditional access/authentication policies to prevent users from falling back to passwords.
• Windows/macOS/mobile support if you need passwordless workstation or native-app login.
• Recovery and lifecycle management for lost, replaced, or revoked keys.

For example, Entra lets administrators configure attestation and key restrictions and can provision FIDO2 security keys through Microsoft Graph.

If you're evaluating these for an enterprise IAM purchase, I can also give you a side-by-side comparison of Entra vs Okta vs Ping vs Duo vs OneLogin, including FIDO2 capabilities, AD integration, lifecycle management, pricing/licensing, and admin experience.

What to look for

Almost all major modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) and workforce/customer identity platforms natively support FIDO2 security keys (such as YubiKeys, Feitian, or Token2 ) and platform authenticators for completely passwordless, phishing-resistant logins. [1][2]

Leading IAM solutions that offer robust FIDO2 passwordless authentication include:

1. Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)

• How it works: Microsoft provides native, deep support for FIDO2 security keys and passkeys across Windows, cloud apps, and hybrid environments. Users can completely eliminate passwords at the login prompt, substituting hardware keys or biometric security keys. [1][2]
• Management: Admins can enforce attestation, target rollout to specific groups or all users, and manage self-service setup policies directly from the Microsoft Entra Admin Center. [1]

2. Okta (Identity Engine / Workforce Identity Cloud)

• How it works: Okta supports FIDO2 (WebAuthn) both as a strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) step and as a primary passwordless sign-in mechanism. [1][2]
• Management: Through the Okta Identity Engine, administrators can configure policies to allow or restrict syncable passkeys vs. hardware-bound FIDO2 security keys, and even enroll security keys on behalf of users during provisioning. Documentation and configuration details are available via the Okta Help Center.[1]

3. Ping Identity (PingOne / PingFederate)

• How it works: Ping Identity delivers comprehensive FIDO2 and passkey orchestration for both workforce and consumer identity profiles. Their platform supports hardware FIDO2 tokens for phishing-resistant access to enterprise resources and customer apps.
• Management: Admins can configure flexible authentication policies via the Ping Identity Platform to balance friction reduction and compliance requirements. [1]

4. CyberArk Identity

• How it works: CyberArk integrates FIDO2 authentication into its broader privilege and workforce access security framework, enabling passwordless login via hardware security keys to critical endpoints, cloud environments, and corporate applications.
• Management: Policies can be customized in the CyberArk Identity Administration Portal to mandate phishing-resistant FIDO2 keys for high-privilege users.

• How it works: For organizations looking for an open-source or self-hosted IAM option, Keycloak features built-in support for WebAuthn and FIDO2 passwordless flows. Users can register and authenticate using biometrics or security keys seamlessly. [1]

If you'd like to narrow this down, tell me:

• Are you looking for workforce/employee identity or customer-facing (CIAM) identity?
• Do you have a specific cloud environment (like Azure/Microsoft 365, AWS, or multi-cloud) you are integrating with?

I can provide a more targeted comparison or setup overview.

Yes. Several mainstream IAM/CIAM platforms support passwordless authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys such as YubiKeys and other hardware authenticators.

The strongest options

• Microsoft Entra ID — Supports device-bound FIDO2 credentials on physical security keys, including passwordless sign-in to Entra and Entra-joined/hybrid-joined Windows devices. Microsoft explicitly recommends FIDO2 keys for highly regulated environments and privileged users.
• Okta — Supports FIDO2/WebAuthn and can provide passwordless experiences using FIDO2 keys. Its Windows Desktop Password Autofill feature specifically allows users to authenticate with a FIDO2 key instead of entering their password.
• Ping Identity — PingID/PingOne support FIDO2 security keys and explicitly support usernameless and passwordless authentication. PingFederate can be configured for FIDO2 passwordless flows.
• ForgeRock — Supports WebAuthn/FIDO2-based authentication and is particularly interesting when you need customizable CIAM or complex authentication journeys.
• JumpCloud — Combines cloud directory, SSO, MFA and device management, making it attractive when FIDO2 passwordless authentication needs to extend to managed endpoints.

One important distinction

"FIDO2 support" doesn't necessarily mean passwordless support. A vendor can support a FIDO2 key merely as an additional MFA factor:

Password + FIDO2 key → phishing-resistant MFA, but not passwordless

versus:

FIDO2 key (+ PIN/biometric) → passwordless authentication

For example, Ping's documentation explicitly distinguishes FIDO2 authentication from its passwordless flow and requires discoverable credentials for passwordless authentication.

If you're selecting an IAM platform specifically for true passwordless FIDO2 hardware-key deployment, I'd shortlist Entra ID, Okta, and PingOne/PingFederate first. The best choice depends heavily on whether you're securing employees/workstations, privileged administrators, or customer-facing applications.

Major Identity and Access Management (IAM) and workforce identity solutions support phishing-resistant, passwordless login using FIDO2 hardware security keys (such as YubiKeys , Feitian, or BioPass) and platform passkeys.

Leading enterprise IAM solutions offering this capability include:

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD): Fully supports FIDO2 security keys for passwordless authentication. Users can log directly into Windows, cloud apps, and hybrid-joined environments using a physical security key coupled with a PIN or biometric touch. Administrators can configure specific vendor restrictions using AAGUIDs (Authenticator Attestation Global Unique Identifiers). Learn more in the Microsoft Entra ID Authentication Documentation.
• Okta (Identity Engine): Features a dedicated Passkeys (FIDO2 WebAuthn) authenticator. It allows organizations to enforce hardware security keys or platform biometrics for primary passwordless login or as robust multi-factor authentication (MFA). Setup details are available through the Okta Passkeys Configuration Guide.
• Ping Identity (PingOne / PingFederate / PingID): Supports FIDO2 and passkeys across its ecosystem. By configuring discoverable credentials (resident keys) within a FIDO policy, organizations can implement seamless passwordless user flows. Implementation specifics can be reviewed in the PingIdentity FIDO2 Configuration Documentation.
• Duo Security (by Cisco): Offers robust passwordless authentication options leveraging FIDO2 WebAuthn standards, allowing users to authenticate with hardware security keys (like USB tokens) or platform biometrics across web and native applications.
• CyberArk Identity: Provides adaptive MFA and passwordless capabilities that incorporate FIDO2-certified hardware tokens and platform authenticators to secure workforce and privileged access.

If you'd like, let me know:

• Whether you are looking for a solution for workforce (employee) or customer (CIAM) identity
• If you have a preferred cloud ecosystem (e.g., Azure/Microsoft-heavy vs. multi-cloud)

I can help compare implementation requirements or vendor restrictions for your specific environment.

Yes. Several major IAM/CIAM platforms support passwordless authentication using FIDO2/WebAuthn hardware security keys such as YubiKeys and Google Titan keys.

The strongest enterprise options

Microsoft Entra ID is particularly strong if you're already in the Microsoft ecosystem. It supports FIDO2 security keys as a genuinely passwordless credential, including sign-in to Microsoft Entra and Windows devices. Microsoft also supports using FIDO2 keys for SSO to traditional on-premises Active Directory resources in hybrid environments.

Okta supports FIDO2/WebAuthn through its Passkeys (FIDO2 WebAuthn) authenticator. Physical security keys are explicitly supported, and Okta's Windows Desktop MFA can use FIDO2 keys for passwordless access to Windows.

Ping Identity PingOne is another particularly capable choice. Its FIDO2 implementation supports hardware security keys and explicitly supports usernameless and passwordless authentication. It offers both workforce and customer IAM scenarios.

What to look for

If your requirement is specifically "insert/tap a physical FIDO2 key and authenticate without a password," make sure the product supports FIDO2/WebAuthn as a primary authentication method, rather than merely allowing a security key as a second factor.

For example:

• Password + FIDO2 key → phishing-resistant MFA, but not passwordless
• FIDO2 key as the primary credential → passwordless
• FIDO2 key + PIN/biometric on the key → passwordless and typically strong MFA
• Passkey stored on a phone/laptop → passwordless, but not necessarily a physical FIDO2 key

For a new enterprise deployment, I'd shortlist Entra ID, Okta, and PingOne first. Entra is especially compelling for Microsoft/Windows/AD environments; Okta is strong for heterogeneous SaaS environments; PingOne is particularly flexible if you need sophisticated workforce and customer IAM.

If you tell me whether you're looking for workforce IAM, customer IAM (CIAM), or privileged/admin access, I can narrow this to the best 3–5 products and compare their FIDO2 capabilities, Windows/macOS support, AD integration, provisioning, and licensing.

Okta supports FIDO2/WebAuthn through its Passkeys (FIDO2 WebAuthn) authenticator. Physical security keys are explicitly supported, and Okta's Windows Desktop MFA can use FIDO2 keys for passwordless access to Windows.

Ping Identity PingOne is another particularly capable choice. Its FIDO2 implementation supports hardware security keys and explicitly supports usernameless and passwordless authentication. It offers both workforce and customer IAM scenarios.
