evasse Hello, are there plans to get windows virtual desktop to work without a password? We're trying to test going passwordless in Azure (no password hash sync, using fido2 keys, adfs, ect). Right now windows virtual desktop seems to behave like a legacy domain device and we can't seem to both test the virtual desktop preview at the same time as going passwordless. I feel it'd be great if these windows 10 virtual desktops were to be connected directly to Azure AD for native Azure AD authentication over setting up Azure AD Domain Services for a legacy style domain environment.

Thanks!

Mike McConnell : We definitely want to support both Azure AD Join and Passwordless going forward to align on those initiatives. These may end up being separate features, or may end up being intrinsically tied. However, this is not something we are planning for GA, as there are a bunch of moving parts we are investigating to handle this.

However, feel free to upvote or make these suggestions on our UserVoice forum.

Thanks!
