Same trouble for me, and after converted Microsoft account to passwordless, I can't access shared folder neither. It seems that, all functions need login dialog can't work properly
Remote-Desktop via Microsoft-Account with no password
Hey guys,
I'm just trying to use the "passwordless account"-feature of my Microsoft account, but when I tried to use RDP it seems not to work yet. I'm logged in with my Microsoft-account on both devices (Windows 11 Pro) but RDP is asking for a password instead of triggering to acknowledge the logon via my mobile device.
Any ideas?
Regards

- Check that you have configured the accounts: "Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only policy", and set its value to Disabled. (this will let you use the RDP without password. In the GPEdit.msc.

In a corporate environment, Passwordless (key-based) doesn't work with RDP, you need to use certificate-based authentication to make it Passwordless. This involves configuring Azure App Proxy and the Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES) windows role and you'd want a DMZ configured for this.

2021-11-13T17:39:32.147+00:00 @Daniel Martin you are a life saver. Was very frustrated that RDP stopped working all of a sudden. Not right after I went password-less, but recently. The workaround you suggested worked like a charm.
It's very annoying that MS is pushing passwordless in one hand and not making it compatible with its platform on the other.
