Microsoft announced password-less authentication for Azure Active Directory applications. The company is rolling out its new Threat Protection Service and offering Azure Confidential Computing in preview. Microsoft Authenticator already lets apps authenticate via an app it launched in 2016 to combine passwords with one-time codes for two-step verification. Microsoft is aiming to provide the security of MFA while keeping the process simple, says Rob Lefferts. An easier MFA experience gives attackers fewer opportunities to trick people into doing the wrong thing.”]
