    Kidd_Ip I heard back from some contacts at Microsoft and all they could provide was a link to this article which juts states that "multi-device passkeys" are not yet supported in Azure AD.  🤞 it will be sometime in 2023 and will be added as a new option under Authentication Methods in Entra ID.

      I suspect the MS won't release support for Passkeys in Azure AD until such time as this is support in the Microsoft Authenticator Mobile App. LastPass and 1Password have announced support for Passkeys for my guess is MS will want to keep this in their ecosystem (which would also be my preference)
