Скачать или смотреть Microsoft Is Auto-Enabling Passkeys in March 2026 – What Every Microsoft 365 Admin Must Do Now

Starting from March 2026, Microsoft will automatically enable passkey profiles in Microsoft Entra ID.

If you don’t configure it first… Microsoft will.

In this episode of Entra Chat, I’m joined by Microsoft MVPs Daniel Bradley and Ewelina Paskowska to break down:

✅ What auto-enabled passkey profiles actually mean
✅ Conditional Access Behavior Changes
✅ Source of authority conversion (now GA)
✅ App registration deactivation (huge for incident response)
✅ Sync hardening and hard match protection
