Microsoft Authenticator passkey registration gains guided My Sign-ins flow

The most consequential update is an Entra ID passkey-registration experience change for Microsoft Authenticator users. In My Sign-ins, registration gains a checkbox, revised link text, and guided steps; failed direct registration now directs users to the WebAuthn flow. Rollout is scheduled from mid-November 2026 through the end of November 2027. External ID documentation also changes passkey sample links and removes a custom URL domain prerequisite from setup guidance.
