Week in brief

Microsoft Entra ID announces public preview of FIDO2 provisioning APIs

The period’s only supplied Entra change is a Microsoft 365 Message Center announcement for new FIDO2 provisioning APIs in public preview. The capability is intended to let organizations pre-provision security keys for users, simplifying onboarding and supporting phishing-resistant authentication. Rollout is scheduled to begin in mid-September 2024 and finish by late September.

  • Microsoft Entra ID is introducing APIs that enable security keys to be provisioned for users before onboarding. This changes the onboarding workflow the preview is designed to support, while the supplied notice does not establish general availability or require administrators to make changes during rollout.

For Entra administrators

No administrator action is required for the rollout. The announcement does not provide configuration, eligibility, or migration requirements, and the capability should be treated as a public preview rather than a generally available feature.

This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.
