How To Enable Enhanced Security - FIDO2 - Create Passkey

The instruction below provides step by step instructions on how to create a passkey in Microsoft Authenticator and enabling FIDO2 phishing resistant authentication.

Once these steps have been completed, please let me know so I can add you to the enhanced security group.

Before Starting

Ensure you know your Microsoft account login credentials.  If you do not, please let me know and do not attempt to perform these steps.

If Microsoft Authenticator is not installed on your iPhone, please contact IT so I can ensure that your account is ready to create a passkey using these instructions.

 

Instructions – Quick List

* See Step-By-Step below these instructions for sample screen shots that you should encounter during the setup.

·        Launch the Microsoft Authenticator App on your iPhone

·        Select your account from the list

·        Tap on Create a Passkey

·        Continue with Sign-In request. You may be presented with multi-factor authentication such as SMS Code or Authenticator Codes.

·        Once complete, you should see the message that the passkey has been created.

·        Tap on "How to use your passkey" to see the following instructions.

 

Ensure Your Device is Registered

The following steps should be taken on all Lauth mobile devices including iPads.

 

·        From the authenticator app start page, tap the menu button in the upper right corner.

·        Tap on "Settings"

·        Tap on Device Registration

·        If you do not see that your device is registered to either Lauth Group or Lauth Communities or Integrated Facilities, tap "Register Device"
