@oktaDev | @deepu105 | deepu.tech Passkeys Synced Device-bound ● Private key synced between devices in same ecosystem and backed up to cloud ● Better usability ● One time enrollment ● Can be restored on device loss or on new device ● Less secure than device-bound passkeys ● Private key stored only on the device ● Not as convenient as synced passkeys ● Each device needs enrollment ● No recovery or backups ● Most secure option

Slide 41

Slide 41 text

@oktaDev | @deepu105 | deepu.tech Passkeys ● Implemented using WebAuthn and FIDO2 ● Can be synced or device-bound ● Discoverable credentials (Resident keys) ● Can be used for account registration as ﬁrst factor ● Enrollment required only once for synced passkeys WebAuthn MFA ● Implemented using WebAuthn and FIDO2 ● Only device-bound ● Non-Discoverable credentials ● Can only be second factor after account registration with password ● Enrollment required on each device
