Entra passkeys enable phishing-resistant sign-ins on Windows

Microsoft is rolling out Entra passkeys on Windows to enable phishing-resistant, passwordless sign-in via Windows Hello. The opt-in public preview runs mid-March to late April 2026 for worldwide tenants (government-cloud timelines differ) and extends passwordless sign-in to unmanaged Windows devices. Passkeys are device-bound and per-account (no cross-device syncing), with multiple accounts able to coexist on one machine; each Entra account must register its own passkey. Admins must enable Passkeys (FIDO2) in Entra, create a Windows Hello profile with required AAGUIDs, and assign it to groups.

LinkedIn introduces free and easy job and identity verification.

LinkedIn is partnering with CLEAR to offer identity verification features that allow users to confirm their name and employer. The platform is rolling out three ways for members to confirm their identity, including a free process that requires sharing a U.S phone number and government-issued ID. LinkedIn is also partnering with Microsoft Entra to allow some users to verify both their identity and employer at once. The verification field will appear on the user's LinkedIn profile once the process is complete, offering an extra layer of protection against fake accounts and scammers.
