Entra ID Passwordless Login - Is It Possible to Avoid Local Password Prompt?

[test_qweqwe]

Hi all,

I'm trying to properly configure Jamf Connect with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for a passwordless login experience using Microsoft Authenticator push notifications.

Right now, when a user logs into their Mac using Entra ID with passwordless push approval (without entering a password), Jamf Connect always prompts them to set or enter a local password after the identity is verified.

My goal is to avoid this step entirely — i.e., users authenticate via Authenticator app and immediately get logged in to the local macOS account, without being asked for a local password.

Thanks in advance for any clarification or guidance!

No.  macOS needs a password to be set when you make the account.  Microsoft may be fine totally handing things over to biometrics and methods that wave your rights, but Apple is not there just yet.
