How to change Windows 365 Boot to a Modern Passwordless Authentication method?

Question

All,

Currently when I log into via Windows App or Web I enter my email and I get the desired Authentication I configure.

I am looking into deploying W365 Boot for the company. However it seems like Microsoft is enforcing users to use username and password.... ?

Is there a way to change that? I would even be happy if users can use the Pin that was configured on the underlying OS before it got converted to W365 Boot.

Any help would be great.

@E S,Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know you want to change Windows 365 Boot to a Modern Passwordless Authentication.

Based on my research, Passwordless authentication is enabled automatically when the Cloud PC and local PC are using the following operating systems:

1.Windows 11 Enterprise with the 2022-10 Cumulative Updates for Windows 11 (KB5018418) or later installed.

2.Windows 10 Enterprise, versions 20H2 or later with the 2022-10 Cumulative Updates for Windows 10 (KB5018410) or later installed.
