Authentication
The following sections detail the authentication support available on each platform and the following table provides a description for each credential type:
| Credential type | Description |
|---|---|
| FIDO2 security keys | FIDO2 security keys provide a standards-based passwordless authentication method that comes in many form factors. FIDO2 incorporates the web authentication (WebAuthn) standard. |
| Microsoft Authenticator | The Microsoft Authenticator app helps sign in to Microsoft Entra ID without using a password, or provides an extra verification option for multifactor authentication. Microsoft Authenticator uses key-based authentication to enable a user credential that is tied to a device, where the device uses a PIN or biometric. |
| Windows Hello for Business certificate trust | Uses an enterprise managed public key infrastructure (PKI) for issuing and managing end user certificates. |
| Windows Hello for Business cloud trust | Uses Microsoft Entra Kerberos, which enables a simpler deployment when compared to the key trust model. |
| Windows Hello for Business key trust | Uses hardware-bound keys created during the provisioning experience. |
Cloud service authentication
The authentication to the service, which includes subscribing to your resources and authenticating to the Gateway, is with Microsoft Entra ID. For more information about the service components of Azure Virtual Desktop, see Azure Virtual Desktop service architecture and resilience.
