Intercede Launches MyID Authenticate, FIDO Passkey Authentication
Intercede, a digital identity specialist, has introduced MyID Authenticate, a FIDO passkey authentication solution that gives governments and enterprises phishing-resistant sign-in to Windows desktops, cloud services, and on-premise applications from a single platform. The solution made its international debut recently at GovWare 2026 in Singapore.
Passwords and one-time codes are easily phished. FIDO passkeys are phishing-resistant by design: each passkey is bound to the genuine site, its private key never leaves the user's device, and there is no shared secret for an attacker to steal or replay. Yet many Governments and enterprises still struggle to extend passkeys beyond a handful of web apps to the Windows desktop, legacy applications and VPNs.
“Everyone agrees passkeys are one of the strongest defenses against phishing. The hard part has been getting them onto every desktop and into every modern application. That is exactly what MyID Authenticate does.”
MyID Authenticate is both a FIDO authentication server and a passkey issuer. It supports FIDO2 security keys and device-bound and synced passkeys, with self-service enrollment. Passkey Windows Logon works on Windows 10 and 11, even offline, while SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect bring the same passkeys to cloud apps, on-premise apps and VPNs, with federation to Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365. Legacy applications are supported via RADIUS and a selection of strong and multi factor authentication methods.
Enterprises deploy MyID Authenticate on their own terms, on-premise, in the cloud or hybrid, and keep full control of their authentication data. It works alongside the identity infrastructure they already run, so there is nothing to rip out and replace. Its crypto-agile design supports post-quantum cryptography, helping governments and enterprises adapt as cryptographic standards and threats evolve.
For existing MyID MFA customers, the Authenticate Migration Tool provides a clear, supported route to MyID Authenticate. The product also integrates with MyID CMS for organizations that need to issue and manage high-assurance credentials alongside it. Intercede has already secured its first new logo client in Germany for the integrated solution.
