Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) support for Passkeys
Hi, Has anyone seen any reference or blog as to when Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) will support Passkeys on iOS or Android devices and will this be classified as Phishing-Resistant MFA under Condi...
- This is the best article I have seen so far regarding background and setup requirements for Microsoft Authenticator Passkeys in Entra ID

From what Microsoft has said, they don't plan to allow that. Issue with iCloud Passkeys is they are account bound, not device bound. Your Passkey through Microsoft Authenticator on your iPhone cannot be moved, or synced to your iPad, it also cannot be shared with anyone. iCloud Passkeys are account bound, are synced between iCloud devices, and can be shared with people, so they are less secure.
I think the bigger issue with this setup is it requires you to default your iPhone to use Microsoft Authenticator for Passwords and Passkeys. This will be a major issue for anyone already using a Password Manager.
- I agree, sadly this is going to be a big hurdle for end users who use LastPass or 1Password etc as their default Password Manager on iOS. Hopefully Apple will release an iOS update that allows for more than one 3rd party password manager
