Microsoft urges Entra ID admins to migrate users to passkeys

Microsoft is urging Entra ID administrators to migrate users to phishing-resistant authentication methods such as passkeys before the company retires SMS and voice authentication in February 2027. The shift aims to reduce sign-in disruptions as the deprecated methods reach end of support.

Why it matters: Entra ID administrators must plan migration to passkeys or other phishing-resistant authentication now to avoid user lockouts when SMS and voice authentication are retired in February 2027.
