Jamf Adds Passkey Sign-In to Jamf ID

· Original article ↗

Summary

Jamf ID now supports passkey-only sign-in or passkeys as a second factor. Users can register passkeys in their account security settings; the same credential works across Jamf products that accept Jamf ID.

Key points

  • Users can sign in to Jamf ID with a passkey alone or use one as a second factor alongside a password.
  • Passkeys are registered in Jamf Account profile settings under Security and Passkeys.
  • A passkey can be tied to a device, stored on a hardware security key, or synced through a platform credential manager.
  • Jamf says a passkey works across its products that accept Jamf ID, including Jamf Pro, Jamf Security Cloud, Jamf Protect and AI Governance.
  • Passkey login is included with Jamf ID, and users can register multiple passkeys.
  • Users who lose their only passkey can use the login screen’s “Forgot Your Password?” option to regain access.

Defense Focus
Strengthen Jamf ID authentication with passkeys to reduce password reuse, credential theft, and replay risk.
Defensive Actions
  • Enable passkey sign-in for Jamf ID, either as the sole sign-in method or as a second factor alongside a password.
  • Register passkeys in Jamf Account profile settings under Security > Passkeys, using a device biometric, PIN, or security key.
  • For organizations using an identity provider, configure passkeys through that provider and confirm supported options with the IT team.
  • Register more than one passkey where appropriate to provide another sign-in option if one is lost.
