Microsoft brings phishing-resistant Windows sign-ins via Entra passkeys

Microsoft is rolling out passkey support for Microsoft Entra on Windows devices, adding phishing-resistant passwordless authentication via Windows Hello.

The feature is opt-in and will enter public preview from mid-March through late April 2026 for worldwide tenants. Government cloud environments (GCC, GCC High, and DoD) follow with mid-April through mid-May rollout windows.

Notably, this also extends passwordless sign-in to unmanaged Windows devices, a gap that previously left personal and shared devices relying on password-based authentication.
