Crayonic Credential Manager

A powerful tool for managing users and passkeys in MS Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), allowing administrators to provision passkeys on behalf of users across any tenant.

Overview

Crayonic Credential Manager is a Windows desktop application that enables administrators to:

• View existing passkeys for users in Entra ID
• Create new passkeys on behalf of users
• Remove passkeys that are no longer needed
• Work with any Entra ID tenant, not just Crayonic's tenant

This tool is particularly useful for organizations deploying passwordless authentication at scale, as it allows administrators to provision passkeys without requiring user intervention.

Features

• Multi-tenant support: Works with any Entra ID tenant
• User search: Easily find users in your directory
• Passkey management: View, create, and remove passkeys
• Security key support: Works with any FIDO2-compatible security key
• Flexible authentication: Support for both interactive and non-interactive authentication
• Simple UI: Intuitive interface designed for administrative use
