We get lost in passkey tech details, but users just want a login that's faster and easy to use. Can WIIFM speed up adoption? Thoughts from CloudHour, plus Jan Bakker’s piece on upgrades on passkey onboarding: open.substack.com/pub/intothec... #Passkeys #MicrosoftEntra #MFA

What is weird about the whole authentication discussion

We talk phishing resistance and device binding. Users just want to log in faster. Why passkey adoption is a UX problem, not a security one.

Microsoft adds Entra ID roles fast: 8 new ones in 2026 already🛡️ New roles = new permission surfaces. Govern early or manage chaos later, especially with AI agents in the mix. How do you track role drift? Learn from the Teams era: govern early or manage chaos later, especially now in the AI era.

PIM Manager just shipped a major update. 🚀 I planned to build the Configure wizard next. But I realized PIM for Groups behaves fundamentally differently than roles. If I ignored that, I’d be building a tool that only works for half the product. Here is what changed 👇

Stop struggling, start managing; PIMManager is here. PIM in Entra shouldn’t mean clickops, scripts, and audit spreadsheets. Yet that’s how most RBAC and PIM audits still work today. Manual, fragmented, and error-prone. That’s why I started building PIMManager. 🧵 #Entra #PIM #RBAC #Security

Did you know that if your organization is using #Microsoft365 / #office365 or #Azure then you are also ALREADY using the #Entra identity platform? Those services are built to use #EntraID as their identity provider (IDP), which is why identity based security controls can scale across them
