Intercede, the leading digital identity specialists, today launched 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 makes its international debut tomorrow at GovWare 2026 in Singapore, 13-15 October 2026.
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 defences against phishing. The hard part has been getting them onto every desktop and into every modern application. That is exactly what MyID Authenticate does.”
Dan McLoughlin, Chief Product Officer, Intercede
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 enrolment. 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 new MyID Authenticate Migration Tool provides a clear, supported route to MyID Authenticate. MyID Authenticate also integrates with MyID CMS for organisations that need to issue and manage high-assurance credentials alongside it. Intercede has secured its first new logo client already in Germany for the integrated MyID CMS and MyID Authenticate solution.
MyID® Authenticate makes its international debut tomorrow at GovWare 2026, one of Asia-Pacific's leading cybersecurity events, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore. Across all three days, from 13 to 15 October, Intercede's team on stand M38 as well as featuring on DT Asia’s stand, M31, in collaboration with Swissbit, will show passkeys working where enterprises need them most: at the Windows lock screen, on the VPN and offline, along with self-service enrolment and how existing MyID® MFA customers can migrate.
“Passkeys are easiest to understand when you see them in action, at GovWare, visitors can see how easy it is to sign in to Windows with a passkey and witness how simple phishing-resistant authentication can be.”
