Entra ID, previously known as Azure AD is Microsoft's Identity Management-as-a-Service solution, offering seamless access, easy collaboration, efficiency in IT processes and improved security and compliance. In its Release Notes for Entra ID and in the Message Center, Microsoft communicated the following planned, new and changed functionality for Entra ID for October 2024:
What’s New
SMS as an MFA method in Microsoft Entra External ID Generally Available
Service category: Consumer Identity Management (B2C)
Product capability: B2B/B2C
Microsoft announces general availability of SMS as an MFA method in Entra External ID with built-in telecom fraud protection through integrations with the Phone Reputation Platform.
What's new?
- SMS sign-in experience that maintains the look and feel of the application people are accessing.
- SMS is an add-on feature. Microsoft applies an additional charge per SMS sent to people which will include the built-in fraud protection services.
- Built-in fraud protection against telephony fraud through Microsoft’s integration with the Phone Reputation platform. This platform processes telephony activity in real-time and returns an Allow, Block or Challenge based on risk and a series of heuristics.
Passkeys in Microsoft Authenticator Public Preview Refresh
Service category: Microsoft Authenticator App
Product capability: User Authentication
The public preview refresh of passkeys in the Microsoft Authenticator now supports additional features:
- Admins can now require attestation during registration of a passkey.
- Android native apps now support signing in with passkeys in the Authenticator.
- Users are now prompted to sign in to the Authenticator app to register a passkey when initiating the flow from MySignIns.
- The Authenticator app passkey registration wizard walks the user through meeting all the prerequisites within the context of the app before attempting registration.
Passkey authentication in brokered Microsoft apps on Android Public Preview
Service category: Authentications (Logins)
Product capability: User Authentication
Entra ID users can now use a passkey to sign into Microsoft apps on Android devices where an authentication broker like Microsoft Authenticator, or Microsoft Intune Company Portal, is installed.
Authentication methods migration wizard Public Preview
Service category: MFA
Product capability: User Authentication
The authentication methods migration guide (preview) in the Microsoft Entra admin center lets admins automatically migrate method management from the legacy MFA and SSPR policies to the converged authentication methods policy.
In 2023, Microsoft announced that the ability to manage authentication methods in the legacy MFA and SSPR policies would be retired in September 2025. Until now, organizations had to manually migrate methods themselves by leveraging the migration toggle in the converged policy. Now, admins can migrate in just a few selections by using the migration guide. The guide evaluates what the organization currently has enabled in both legacy policies, and generates a recommended converged policy configuration for admins to review and edit as needed. From there, simply confirm the configuration and Microsoft sets it up and mark the migration as complete.
