Microsoft recently announced that the legacy policies for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) will no longer be supported after September 30, 2025. We need to migrate the legacy MFA and SSPR policies to the authentication methods in Microsoft Entra ID.
A device-bound passkey is an advanced security feature implemented in Microsoft Authenticator. It is a unique security key that is tied to a specific device. When a user logs in to their account, they use this key to verify their identity. Since the key is bound to the device, no one else can access the user’s account, even if they know the password, unless they also have access to the device.
A Temporary Access Pass (TAP) is a time-limited passcode that can be configured for single or multiple use. The Temporary Access Pass (TAP) allows the user to securely sign in to the Microsoft Cloud within a defined time period to set up additional authentication methods. These secure authentication methods include passwordless methods such as FIDO2 security keys or the Microsoft Authenticator App. The limited time period for access authorisations makes the Temporary Access Pass (TAP) an indispensable tool for security guidelines and compliance requirements.
