Microsoft Entra: Developer-Centric Features & Public Preview of Microsoft Entra External ID

📌Last year, we talked about:

✔️Our bigger plan for identity and safe access.

✔️Launching Microsoft Entra - our new set of products for all identity and access matters.

✔️It includes Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), part of the Microsoft Entra family.

✔️We also mentioned Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, and Microsoft Entra Verified ID.

📌Now, we're thrilled to say:

✔️We've new developer-friendly features for customer and partner identity experiences in our newest customer identity and access management (CIAM) solution - Microsoft Entra External ID.

✔️Also, we've reached the next stage in making our Microsoft Entra Verified ID solution easy to use in any app with Microsoft Entra Verified ID SDK.

📌Microsoft Entra External ID in public preview:

✔️This is our newest customer identity and access management platform.

It unites safe and engaging experiences across all external identities - customers, partners, citizens, and more. It has all the familiar Azure AD External Identities features, plus new ones.

✔️These include developer-friendly tools to create safe, compliant web and mobile apps for your customers and partners.

📌So, what's new?

✔️You've asked for the Azure AD B2C solution to be more developer-friendly, more secure, and better integrated with the Microsoft Entra portfolio of solutions.

✔️You can use our powerful app development libraries (Microsoft Authentication Library or MSAL), customise user experience, and control access easily.

📌To make things easier for developers, we're also releasing:

✔️A new Developer Center packed with guides, code samples, tutorials, and videos.

✔️A new quick start wizard to add branded sign-up and sign-in experiences to your app.

✔️A preview of the user journey-time orchestration, to easily onboard or authenticate users with external data sources and custom business logic.
