Session Abstract

What if you never had to remember or reset a password ever again? “POP goes the password” is an advanced deep-dive into achieving password freedom in modern IT environments. We’ll explore why passwords are increasingly viewed as a liability. Easy for attackers to guess or steal, yet hard for users to manage. More importantly, this session demonstrates how to “pop” the password out of the equation on Windows 10/11 and mobile platforms using Microsoft’s latest passwordless technologies. From Windows Hello for Business and Microsoft Authenticator to FIDO2 security keys and passkeys, we’ll show these in action with real configuration steps and live demos.
