FIDO2

Proposed
All SmarterTools products need to support TOTP plus we need to add Passkeys support soonest. As you must know Microsoft has started the count down to NO MORE PASSWORDS starting on or about August 1, 2025. Their replacement for passwords and TOTP is Passkey. This is for Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Hotmail.com and Live.com. If you are a partner or end user this is coming to you soon! Get READY NOW!

I have been beta FIDO2 Tokens for more than a month and I am help clients switch!

Google launched Passkeys on World Password Day in 2022 and since that time 400 million Google Accounts have been secure using this technology. Google created their Titan Security Key as a test bed platform and required all employees to use some after at or after 2018.

.Net Core example of this is https://github.com/passwordless-lib/fido2-net-lib. Not sure how good this is or the quality of the code -- but this lowers the barrier to entry. You also FIOD2 on a PICO Microcontroller at https://github.com/polhenarejos/pico-fido.
Microsoft should shut the frick up and let us do what WE want....

Passphrases are the only thing you can have in your head thats personal... and not something somew other techgiant is supplying.

All of Europe is getting out of the Microsoft Software shitbucket....
Sorry I hit a nerve. I am just reporting the state of the world everyone lives in. 

Regardless, IMHO Passkeys are a good security measure to implement to help protect the end users.

How many folks think Passkey is a good idea -- plus 1!
Any takers for FIDO2 for PassKeys? Anyone trying PassKeys? I think its good and by using a physical token it moves the "Key" from a device to a simply device plus I can make backups.

Laptops, Desktops, Tablets and Smart Phones get replaces and I don't see we have a consistent method to migrate Keys on these devices.
