    Remote Desktop with Microsoft account passwordless

    I can't make the Remote Desktop works with my Microsoft account. It seems it does not work with Accounts that have passwordless option ON. Could you please confirm this information?

    Remote Desktop with Microsoft account passwordless

    Hi,

    R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

    Yes, you are correct. Remote Desktop does not currently support sign-ins with Microsoft accounts that have the passwordless option turned on. To use Remote Desktop, you will need to set a password for your Microsoft account and use that password to sign in.

    with the best regards
