Howdy folks! Many big organizations that have certificates have been using the certificate-based authentication feature while it was in preview and giving us feedback. Thank you for your input!

Federated Azure AD customers can sign in using certificate-based authentication (performed against the federation server) with Office applications on iOS and Android. The chart below outlines the support for certificate-based authentication across Office applications: 2. Azure AD customers can sign in using certificate-based authentication with Exchange ActiveSync mobile apps in iOS and Android when signing in to Exchange Online. Take a look at our certificate-based authentication documentation to get started with these scenarios Of course, we always love to hear your feedback and suggestions, and look forward to hearing from you!
