Have a look at Certificate Based Authentication. This may be a suitable option for sign in as neither the username or password is required to login.

  The table in the link i pasted seems to indicate CBA is supported for SfB Mobile when using SfBO.
  
  Also this link here shows the supported topologys for Modern Auth which includes CBA for SfBO in the first table - Cloud Only. This is probably the best link on Technet for understanding the technical nuances between each topology and whats available with each.
