Let’s have a look in this article, how easy it is to set up our Feitian FIDO2 key to passwordless sign in to our Office 365 account. I haven’t seen such an application yet from another vendor, but let me know in the comments if other vendors do have such an app for macOS. To overcome this limitation for Mac users, one of the FIDO2 vendors, Feitian, published an application to manage their keys.
That support isn’t available in macOS by default. We can add or change a PIN via Windows settings, and also reset the key. On Windows, we have built-in support to manage a key. The only challenge left for a Mac-only user is how to manage the key. On macOS, we are not able to sign in to the Mac itself by using a FIDO2 key, but by using the Microsoft Edge browser, we’re at least able to use a FIDO2 key to passwordless sign-in to Office 365! With Safari, this is unfortunately still not possible.
I described how to use FIDO2 security keys to sign in to Windows itself or use the key to sign in to Office 365/ Azure AD. I have written some articles in the past related to the p asswordless sign-in subject, but that usually described to experience on Windows devices.
