Finding Your Way on the Passkey Path
TrustedSec presents a technical deployment guide for passkeys that focuses less on basic WebAuthn concepts and more on the operational security issues organizations hit during rollout. The article highlights that passkeys remove reusable shared secrets and bind authentication to device and origin, but shifts attacker focus toward weaker recovery paths, helpdesk workflows, and downgrade opportunities rather than traditional credential phishing. It specifically calls out security-relevant implementation topics such as FIDO2 security key enrollment, downgrade attacks, Temporary Access Pass (TAP) issuance, Conditional Access policy design, and the role of AAGUIDs and attestation in controlling authenticator trust. The main value is as a practical roadmap for defenders planning enterprise passkey adoption, especially around support processes and identity architecture that can become the new attack surface.
