🏢 Senior architect @ SoftwareOne 🤓 25+ years in IT ✏️ Blog: agderinthe.cloud ❤️ Microsoft MVP Identity and Access 📢 MFA! MFA! MFA! MFA!
📱 Trying to sign in on your phone, and your passkey is sitting on your computer instead? Full breakdown, demo included, here: agderinthe.cloud/2026/09/23/p... #EntraID #Passkeys #FIDO2 #IdentitySecurity #ZeroTrust
Passkeys on the laptop are easy. The phone? Not so much!
Back in February I wrote about how to onboard passkeys safely with Temporary Access Pass, and in Passkeys enabled ≠ phishing-resistant I wrote about tightening Conditional Access afterwards. But I …

📢 Another blog post from me, and SHOCKING NEWS! It's about #Passkeys 🤪 (who could have guessed?) Lately a ton of planned changes has dropped into the message center, and here's two I wanted to talk about. #Entra #Security #Passkey agderinthe.cloud/2026/09/04/p...
Passkey as first MFA method: What could go wrong?
If you have onboarded anyone to passkeys in Entra, you know the awkward part. Before a user can register a passkey, they need an MFA method already. So either you hand them a Temporary Access Pass,…

Part 2 is up. Correcting an error from part 1, because Microsoft moved the dates. Twice. 😅 But the bigger problem: One of the deadlines in this post isn't in September or October, it's about two weeks away. #Emtra #ExchangeOnline #Security 👉 agderinthe.cloud/2026/08/19/h...
Happy new fiscal year! Part 2
Welcome back! In part 1 I went through everything Microsoft dropped on us in July. If you skipped it, go read that one first, because a couple of the things below are the second half of stories tha…

📢 I have some afterthoughts about my previous blog post. ❗Personally, I think this is the moment to move forward rather than finding ways to preserve the weakest authentication method in the environment. #Entra #Microsoft #Security Read more here: agderinthe.cloud/2026/08/13/a...
Afterthoughts: I said SMS and voice were being removed
My last post was a long one, and long posts have a way of leaving something behind. This is the bit that kept nagging at me afterwards, plus one practical thing I want to spell out properly rather …

Yet another deadline, and this one waited for my vacation!
There is an unwritten rule in this industry. The moment you finally close the laptop, put the phone in a drawer and decide that for three weeks you are going to be a person instead of an identity a…

#Microsoft's fiscal year rolls over July 1st, and the price hikes aren't the part that'll ruin your week. 😱 A pile of technical changes land at the same time. Some break syncs, some lock out admins, one lands mid-summer-vacation. 🙃 New post, part 1 of 2 👇 agderinthe.cloud/2026/06/29/h... #Entra
Happy new fiscal year! (now go check your tenant)
So this will be a little different than my normal blog posts. Every year around this time Microsoft’s fiscal year rolls over, and every year it drags a pile of changes along with it. Most of …

Two accounts for every user after a migration. 😱 One you migrated, one sync created because it couldn't tell they were the same person. How Entra decides two objects are "the same" is more fragile than most assume. New post 👇 agderinthe.cloud/2026/06/23/s... #Entra #HybridIdentity
Sync and seek: User matching in tenant migrations
Few things ruin a migration weekend faster than logging into the target tenant and finding two accounts of every user. 😱 One is the account you carefully migrated, the other is a duplicate that syn…

New blog post: I.D.E.A. #004 – MFA, you say? 🔐 Entra's native MFA reports think in black and white. So I built a tool that shows the grey area. Every account, risk-scored, in one HTML dashboard. agderinthe.cloud/2026/06/10/i...
I.D.E.A #004 – MFA, you say?
It’s time for another I.D.E.A., and this time I am focusing on one of my true callings in life: MFA for everyone. The MFA reporting that comes natively in your tenant is honestly sub-par, so …

Deploying passkeys is the easy part. What happens after is where most tenants quietly fail. 🔓 #Entra #Passkey #Security #Agderinthecloud agderinthe.cloud/2026/05/13/p...
Passkeys enabled ≠ phishing-resistant
A few weeks ago I wrote about passkey onboarding in Entra, and at the end of that post I made a promise: “Once users have onboarded with passkeys, the real work begins.” This is that fo…

I.D.E.A #003 – One script to register them all!
It’s time for another I.D.E.A., and this one might be the most immediately useful one yet, especially if you’re a consultant hopping between tenants, or a SharePoint admin who just discovered that …

Everyone thinks data breaches look like a spy film. Actually, it is just someone called Gary pasting the payroll file into a public AI to make a pie chart. Stop waiting for common sense to kick in because it won't. Here is how to use the tech to stop them. agderinthe.cloud/2026/01/15/p...

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.

JUST IN: Trump says the U.S. has captured Maduro and his wife and flown them out of the country.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
