Register a Passkey on Windows – Beyond Identity

This article provides an overview of how users can register their first Beyond Identity passkey on a Windows device. If you have already registered your initial Beyond Identity passkey and need to add your passkey to a secondary Windows device, see https://supportcases.beyondidentity.com/hc/en-us/articles/6763368950295-How-do-I-migrate-my-existing-Passkey-to-a-Windows-device.

Instructions

This article assumes that your IT administrator has already installed the Windows authenticator on your device and you just need to register the passkey.

Open the registration email for Beyond Identity from your IT administrator. It should look similar to the following example:.
Important: If the Windows authenticator was pushed via MDM you do not need to download the authenticator under Step 1, Get Authenticator in the email and can skip to Step 2: Register credential.
In most cases, your administrator will have already deployed Beyond Identity to machines in your organization and you should skip to Register credential in the email.
Click the Register New Profile button (shown above).
Important: Make sure you register the passkey before the link expires.
Once registration completes, the authenticator displays a message that the Passkey was successfully set up.

Note: We recommend duplicating your passkey on a second device to help you recover it if it's accidentally deleted. For more information, see https://supportcases.beyondidentity.com/hc/en-us/sections/6763268099863-Migrating-passkey.
