🚨 Big identity updates from the Microsoft Entra team – June 2025 roundup is here!
From securing AI agents to simplifying guest access, there's a lot to unpack. Here are a few highlights worth knowing if you're in the identity space:
🔹 Agent ID is now in preview
AI agents now get treated like real users – with identity, Conditional Access, lifecycle control, and activity monitoring. This is a game-changer for anyone building secure AI solutions.
🔹 Passkey profiles arrive in Entra ID (preview)
You can now set FIDO2 passkey settings per user group, allowing you to customise policies down to the model of security key or whether users use Microsoft Authenticator.
🔹 Migrate now: Sign-in/User Risk Policies moving to Conditional Access
Mark your calendar – by 31 July, the old UI becomes read-only. Conditional Access is where the innovation is happening.
🔹 Guest MFA registration streamlined
From 29 July, new tenants won’t force MFA setup for B2B guests unless it’s actually needed (e.g. admin roles). Easier sharing without compromising on control.
🔹 Improved iOS Authenticator backups
Starting September, backups for all accounts (even Google or Amazon) will use iCloud Keychain, offering a smoother restore experience without needing a Microsoft account.
🔹 Azure AD Graph & PowerShell retirement countdown
If you haven’t moved to Microsoft Graph or Entra PowerShell yet – now’s the time. Expect service disruption tests from late July and final retirement October 2025.
🔹 Entitlement visibility changes
Access packages scoped to "specific users and groups" will soon become visible to all members in My Access. If that’s not your intent, you’ll want to hide them before 30 Sept.
