Check every computer's security (Controller checks)
A 6 MB background program, no vault and no sign-in, that tells admins which computers need attention. Professional, Team, Business and Enterprise. It is the same program as the Controller.
Steps
Open Admin console › Devices › Device agents (for your own computers on Professional: Devices › Desktop Micro Agent) and choose Add computers.
Copy the command for Windows, macOS or Linux and run it on each computer, or deploy it with Intune, Jamf or a login script. It downloads the agent from passkey-x.com, joins with the code and starts with the computer.
Every 6 hours the agent checks disk encryption, firewall, screen lock, automatic updates, admin rights, files with passwords or API keys in plain text, SSH keys without a passphrase, passwords left in browsers and the Passkey-X extension.
Each computer gets a score from 0 to 100 with what to fix. Computers that stop reporting for 3 days are flagged as silent.
Remove a computer here; its agent stops at its next report. On the computer, passkey-x-agent leave uninstalls it.
Good to know
- Only yes/no answers and counts are sent: never file names, file contents, passwords or browsing. Run passkey-x-agent preview to see exactly what would be sent.
- The full Passkey-X desktop app does all of this and more (Shield, secret sprawl clean-up, the vault). The Micro Agent is for computers where people don't use the vault yet.
