CheckID

SMS and voice authentication in Microsoft Entra will be retired on February 1, 2027, and the transition is already underway.

CheckID uses familiar electronic identity (eID) solutions to verify each user’s identity before a passkey is created in Microsoft Entra.

Using CheckID makes the move to passkeys and phishing-resistant authentication easy for users and IT.

Passkeys are the way forward. CheckID lets you implement it seamlessly.

CheckID verifies the identity

A strong authentication method needs to be registered by the right person.

CheckID gives the business a clear checkpoint at the start of the identity journey. The user confirms their identity with an electronic ID they already know, such as BankID, ID-porten or Vipps, before registering a new authentication.

A simpler model for:

Onboarding
Passkey adoption
Account recovery

Passkeys maintain security

Passkeys solve a central security problem: The user no longer needs a shared secret that can be phished, reused, or stolen.

Microsoft is ending voice and SMS authentication for Entra from February 2027, as passkey are becoming the preferred and safer method of authentication going forward.

CheckID provides a control point to establish confidence in the user’s identity before the Microsoft passkey is activated.
