I wanted to bring an announcement/offer Yubico made with Microsoft last week to your attention:

Build your Passwordless offering with Microsoft Azure AD and YubiKeys – Limited Time Offer

Together with Microsoft, we are announcing a Go Passwordless Pilot Program where qualified Services Providers (e.g. systems integrators, consulting services) in Canada, EU, UK and US can nominate their customer to pilot the Azure Active Directory Passwordless flow. For a limited time, Yubico and Microsoft are offering 25 free YubiKeys to up-to 100 qualified customers to pilot the Microsoft Azure AD Passwordless flow and YubiEnterprise Delivery (YED) service.

“I believe this offering is a compelling program. It fits well with our respective missions to help everyone achieve more and make the internet safe for everyone.” – Sue Bohn, Partner Director of Program Management in the Identity Division at Microsoft.

To get started and check qualifications:

1. Services Provider will need to identify a customer (500+ Azure AD Users) that has the technical FIDO2 requirements to go passwordless

2. Enroll your organization into the program. If you have an Azure AD + Yubico Passwordless practice – share the link with us when you sign up!

3. Then, nominate the customer for the pilot

4. If you and your customer are selected for the pilot, we will contact you for shipping details

Pilots requirements: Windows 10 version 1903 or later, Azure Active Directory and Yubico’s YubiKey 5 series, Microsoft Azure AD MFA enabled users, and integrate Azure AD with Microsoft and 3rd party applications; such as Office 365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow.
