Passkeys have changed how organizations protect login. Security leaders everywhere are aware that the next security challenge is bigger than authentication: how do you verify that a person, agent, wallet, or workflow was allowed to take a specific action?

As AI agents begin acting on behalf of users, digital wallets become a home for credentials and proofs, and developers automate more high-impact workflows, security teams need new ways to bind access, approval, and accountability together without adding friction or exposing unnecessary data. The short lifecycle of an agent requires access to be granted at runtime, scoped to a single task, and expire immediately after use.

Join Yubico, SIROS Foundation, and 1Password for a practical conversation on the shift from trusted login to trusted action. We’ll explore how FIDO passkeys, open digital wallet infrastructure, runtime JIT credential access for agents, compound identity, cryptographic proofs, and hardware-backed signing can work together to secure high-assurance workflows. 

Anchored by YubiKey 5.8, the discussion will cover what is becoming possible with next-generation passkeys, where today’s identity and federation models fall short, how agent access should be delegated, attributed, and audited, and what builders can start doing now as standards and platforms mature.
