Hello Farooque This is very good, but what about those who are Microsoft 365 Family subscribers and have a passwordless account? Since I removed the password from my personal Microsoft 365 Family account, I haven’t been able to access my computer remotely because I can’t use this feature. I also have a FIDO2 device configured on my personal account. Is there any forecast for this feature to be made available for end users?
