    It would be great if Windows would allow an order in the Credential Providers. If you still have demand for passwords in limited scenarios, you can't disable the password Credential Provider. So, e.g. in UAC credential prompt Password is always on top and end-users must scroll down and select a different Credential Provider by themselves. Allowing us to put e.g. Windows Hello for Business on top would help the adoption.

      Great Point. I think it is a future which will land in our systems sooner than later. However, many businesses are not ready yet for this. Windows Hello is great - but requires a compliant device. Windows Hello requires as well compliant, modern OS - some of my clients are still working on old OS (from before Vista 8.1 time). I would say: observe the space.

        On Manufacturing Floors we introduced FIDO2 keys per user, this is even easier since it doesn't net to be setup per device and doesn't need camera or finger sensor so works also on older PC boxes, but of cause w/ a current OS
  • We are currently going fhrough a lift-n-shift migration of on premise AD and Microsoft server in a physical data center to Microsoft Azure. We will continue on premise AD until post migration to convert. How can we get advise on switching to Azure AD and leveraging the Microsoft App MFA and the services shown today for our organization to develop a strategy.? We don;t have an assigned Microsoft Rep at this time.

      Hi Richard, in order to get the best recommendations and best practices in order to migrate from on prem AD to Azure AD you should try to contact your local Partner that provides you with current assistance, if they cannot handle, they can reach us out for further assistance. We do have a lot of materials and workshops where we talk about the ADFS to AAD migration, your Partner should be able to assist you enrolling to one session, if not let us know so that we can assist.

      Great question. I think the best option would be to hire an external consultant for the day, two or a week. Consultants have knowledge that your org may not have and could help navigate you through the process of moving to the cloud. In my opinion, Lift-n-shift is not always the best approach. Do not know where are you based, but you can start here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/business/find-a-partner

    I thought that this session was going to be about new announcements from the recent Microsoft Secure event, this seems like a review of existing functionality. Did I misunderstand the purpose of this event?

      Hi Dean, thank you for the feedback. The first half was just some level/scene setting. We are now getting into the new token theft detections/preventions.

  • How does conditional access stand in this comparison, maybe in combination with other methods? Is e.g. username&password + CA comparable to some MFA methods?
    • Yes. We can mix all of these features, like checking the risk of the user + checking the risk of the session + forcing the MFA challenge, and then when passed, granting access to the system, application or even document.

        What I mean is, is CA better than for instance SMS MFA, considering the sim swapping?
