Protecting Against Passkey Syncing Fraud to Satisfy Mandatory MFA Standards
Passkeys, Fraud, and the Future of MFA Passkeys promise better security and less friction, but they're not a silver bullet to eradicate identity fraud. This webinar unpacks the tradeoffs between synced and device-bound passkeys, where fraudsters are shifting their tactics, and what a truly layered authentication strategy looks like heading into 2026.
Watch on demand
As organizations accelerate adoption of passkeys to replace passwords, new questions are emerging around security, recovery, and fraud prevention. While passkeys offer a major leap forward in authentication, they are only as strong as the identity-proofing and recovery processes behind them. At the same time, attackers are evolving tactics to target registration flows, session hijacking, and account recovery vulnerabilities.
In this webinar, industry experts from AboutFraud, Prove’s MaryAnn Miller, and Uri Rivner from Refine Intelligence will explore the evolving passkey landscape, including the tradeoffs between synced and device-bound passkeys, the future of high-assurance authentication, and why organizations must move beyond SMS OTPs and other “fishable” factors. The session will also examine how technologies like Air Key and unified authentication can strengthen security while reducing friction for users.
