Trimble ID Just Got Easier — Here’s How to Turn On Passkeys
Trimble ID now supports passkeys via Microsoft Authenticator. This guide shows how to enable them, sign in passwordlessly to @viewpoint.cloud, and set up fallback methods like email and phone. Future-proof your login workflow—fast, secure, and phishing-resistant.
🔐 How to Enable Passkeys in Microsoft Authenticator for Your Trimble ID
Passkeys are quickly becoming the cleanest, most secure way to authenticate — no passwords, no codes, no phishing risk. And now, Trimble ID (powered by Microsoft Entra ID) fully supports passkeys through the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Since Trimble ID already allows passkeys, you can enable them in minutes and start using biometrics to sign in to your @viewpoint.cloud account.
🔑 What Passkeys Actually Do
A passkey is a cryptographic credential stored on your phone. Instead of typing a password, you unlock your device with:
- Face ID
- Fingerprint
- Device PIN
Nothing is typed, nothing can be phished, and nothing leaves your device.
For Trimble ID users, this means faster, safer access to Viewpoint, Trimble Construction One, and any Microsoft‑backed login.
📋 Requirements (Quick Hit)
- Microsoft Authenticator installed
- Android 14+ or iOS 17+
- Bluetooth enabled (for cross‑device sign‑ins)
🧭 Step 1 — Add a Passkey to Trimble ID
Use Microsoft’s security portal to register your passkey:
- Go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info
- Select Add sign‑in method
- Choose Passkey
- When prompted, select Use Microsoft Authenticator
- Approve the prompt on your phone
- Authenticate with your device’s biometric unlock
Your passkey is now registered to Trimble ID.
🚀 Step 2 — Use Your Passkey to Sign In
When you sign in to your @viewpoint.cloud account:
- Choose Sign in with a passkey
- Select your device
- Approve the Authenticator prompt
- Unlock your phone
- You’re in — no password required
This works on the same device or across devices, as long as Bluetooth is on.
💡 Tip: While you’re in the Security Info page, it’s smart to add an email and phone number as backup sign‑in methods. If you ever don’t have your device handy, these give you a safe fallback without locking yourself out.
