Microsoft Authenticator: Failed to register for receiving push notifications

Peter Klapwijk — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 11:32:53 +0000

Today a short blog post related to the Microsoft Authenticator app and the error I received when I tried to configure passwordless phone sign-in. For some time, I was unable to set up passwordless phone sign-in in the Microsoft Authenticator app on my mobile device. When I checked my tablet, also that device showed me [...]

Azure AD Connect setup error

Peter Klapwijk — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 19:17:00 +0000

I was configuring a Microsoft 365 lab environment to write this blog post recently. As I needed some hybrid user identities, I needed to configure good old Azure AD Connect. When I entered all the needed information in the configuration wizard, I already saw that it took a very long time to set up the [...]

The next step in a passwordless Windows experience

Peter Klapwijk — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 12:15:00 +0000

We most likely all know passwords don’t have a future and therefore I’m happy more and more companies embrace authentication options without using a password (passwordless). One of the companies that is at the forefront of this is Microsoft, at least on Windows (of course on Windows). Microsoft supports passwordless authentication options like Windows Hello [...]

Onboarding a passwordless Azure AD user

Peter Klapwijk — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 17:33:00 +0000

Onboarding a passwordless Office 365 user, is that possible? That was the question I recently asked myself. I’ve been using my Azure AD account without a password I guess for about a year now. I changed my password to something hard to remember and since then signed in to my Office 365 account without my [...]

Configure FIDO security keys as the default sign-in option for Windows

Peter Klapwijk — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 20:18:00 +0000

Today a short article on configuring FIDO2 security keys as the default login option for your Windows devices. I describe how we assign the default credential provider with Microsoft Intune, which is the logon setting to configure the FIDO Credential Provider as the credential provider. Besides configuring the default credential provider, we can also exclude [...]

Create Azure AD Dynamic Device Group using Mobile Device Management Type

Peter Klapwijk — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 19:30:00 +0000

I actually didn’t even notice it myself in the Azure AD portal but I was triggered by Scott Duffey his tweet, we have new dynamic device group properties available. And these are not just dynamic group properties, these are properties for which we are already screaming for years! We finally have the option to use [...]

How to assign Azure AD roles to Azure AD groups

Peter Klapwijk — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 19:03:00 +0000

Not so long ago I wrote the article Azure role-based access control – BitLocker Recovery Key Reader. As a response to that article, I received a question related to the possibility of assigning these kinds of Azure roles to security groups, and told me he wasn’t aware of the possibility to use groups for role [...]

Get notified on expiring Azure App Registration client secrets

Peter Klapwijk — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 21:26:00 +0000

Today another blog post that involves Logic Apps. I use some App Registrations in Azure, for example, to use in my Logic App flows. To authenticate with these App Registrations I use client secrets. But these client secrets expire once in a while which causes my flows to stop working if I don’t replace them [...]

Using your smartphone as a FIDO security with IDmelon

Peter Klapwijk — Sun, 19 Sep 2021 10:36:00 +0000

I have been using several different FIDO2 security keys in the past year to passwordless sign-in to my Azure AD accounts. The used keys are from different vendors like Authentrend, Feitian, and Yubico. I have one connected to my docking station in my home office for daily usage. I have one in my laptop bag [...]

Secure multiple accounts with a FIDO2 security key

Peter Klapwijk — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 08:23:00 +0000

Today a short article to make people aware that a FIDO2 security key isn’t tied to one Azure AD/ Office 365 account. We don’t have to purchase a separate key for every Azure tenant we access. Fortunately, we can use a key for multiple accounts! Some people might have access to multiple Office 365 accounts. [...]
