Recall how phishing-resistant authentication changes endpoint access decisions.
What makes a passkey phishing-resistant? It uses public-key challenge-response tied to the real service origin, so a fake site cannot reuse a password or code. The server stores a public key; the private key stays with the authenticator. Core mechanism Passkey versus one-time code For high-risk endpoint access, prefer phishing-resistant methods. Objection: "We already have MFA, so the endpoint access path is safe." Access review Your line MFA type matters. A phishable code plus an unmanaged endpoint still leaves a replayable access path. Treating all MFA as equivalent. It separates authentication strength from the label "MFA." Why does fallback matter?…
