Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and FIDO2: Increasing the security of privileged roles
Privileged roles and permissions in Microsoft Entra ID allow you to manage all aspects of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. To make phishing and other attacks more difficult, a secure password for privileged Microsoft Entra roles is no longer enough. Phishing-resistant multi-factor-authentication, such as FIDO2 protocol on a security key in combination with Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM), significantly increases security for the Microsoft Tenant and convenience for the user.
Windows LAPS in Microsoft Intune
Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) provides centralized, simple, and secure management of local administrator passwords through Microsoft Intune. Each device receives its own, time-limited local administrator password. Windows LAPS independently manages the administrator passwords in terms of expiration and rotation. The passwords are stored either in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) or in the local Active Directory. The centralized management of all local administrator passwords simplifies control and monitoring. The time-controlled rotation of passwords significantly reduces their exposure duration. In addition, access to the stored passwords is strictly controlled, which makes unauthorized access more difficult and overall increases the security of the network environment.

Passwordless Sign In with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and YubiKey (FIDO2)
Passwordless Sign In with a FIDO2-enabled security key such as a YubiKey in conjunction with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) provides high security while maintaining ease of use. There is no longer any need to enter a username and password. For users with private mobile devices who do not want to install the Microsoft Authenticator app, a security key from YubiKey offers a good alternative. This tutorial sets up a YubiKey 5 security key for passwordless sign in to Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 services.
