Summary:
Microsoft Entra updates Passkeys (FIDO2) support in Authentication Methods Registration Campaigns, delaying Enabled state availability and introducing Passkeys in Microsoft-managed state for eligible tenants starting mid-May 2026. Eligible tenants will see automatic campaign setting changes; no immediate action is required.
Details:
[Introduction]
We are making an update to Passkeys (FIDO2) support within Microsoft Entra Authentication Methods Registration Campaigns.
Based on ongoing improvements to passkey registration nudge logic and user experience behavior, Passkeys (FIDO2) will no longer move forward to General Availability as the targeted authentication method for Registration Campaigns in the Enabled state as previously communicated in MC1253746.
Instead, we are continuing to refine the eligibility logic that determines when users receive passkey registration nudges during sign-in. In the interim, Passkey (FIDO2) will move forward as the targeted authentication method for Registration Campaigns in the Microsoft Managed state for tenants that meet our in-scope criteria.
[When this will happen]
General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in mid‑May 2026 to Microsoft Managed state and is expected to complete by late June 2026.

Direct effects for Operations**
Delay in Passkeys (FIDO2) Availability
The delay in the Enabled state for Passkeys (FIDO2) may lead to users continuing to rely on less secure authentication methods, increasing the risk of phishing attacks and security breaches.

Changes in Registration Campaign Settings
Automatic updates to registration campaign settings may confuse users, leading to frustration and potential disruptions in their sign-in experience due to changes in snooze options and targeting methods.
