Microsoft 365 implementation of passkeys is sacrilegious somehow.
It requires only the Authenticator app from Microsoft and can use nothing else to create the passkey. The way this is implemented on iOS means that Authenticator comes up as an autofill option BUT IT ONLY SUPPORTS M365 and is useless for anything else. Leave it to Microsoft to take an open standard and bastardize it to the point of it being MORE CONVENIENT to just type a damn password.
The authenticator requirement was for regular MFA, with passkey you can use others like yubikey. BUT your admin can lock it to certain vendors so they could have selected Microsoft only.
I’m the admin. Every time I try to open it up, I only get guides for doing it on a regular, personal MS account.
Wait, you type passwords? KeePassXC's auto-type awaits!
You realize password managers just open up another attack vector right?
