Windows 10: When will the remote desktop client support passwordless Microsoft accounts?

This page confirms it does not work yet:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-go-passwordless-with-your-microsoft-account-674ce301-3574-4387-a93d-916751764c43If the one time password from the authenticator app worked, that would be fine. Not essential to be able to save the credentials.

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

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?
