Windows 11 ARM VM running in macOS Parallels does not support FIDO2 token workstation login
For context:
macOS monterrey 12.6 on an M1 Mac
Parallels Virtualization version 18.0.3
VM is WIndows 11 Insider Preview ARM architecture.
My goal was to test DESKTOP login using a FIDO2 hardware security token with a provisioned FIDO2 credentials
- Joined WIndows 11 ARM VM to Azure
- Configured Azure properly for FIDO2 auth (passwordless auth)
- Confirmed that it was joined and I could login using a user via username/password
- Initially, logged out and went to sign in with a FIDO2 hardware token and could not, was never shown the FIDO2 option for authentication (see picture, no icon in sign-in options)
- Triaged the issue, set the registry setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device and set to 2
- Tried to play with USB re-direction on VM, but it would never present the option to login with a FIDO2 token
- The FIDO2 token DOES WORK inside a browser, you can use the token to login to your MSFT account. Any browser interactions FIDO2 hardware tokens are supported.
My question is:
- Does macOS Parallels virtualization NOT support FIDO2 auth via a Windows 11 VM
- Or is it that WIndows 11 ARM insider preview does not have FIDO2 capability natively and therefore it won't work with any security key at desktop login?
