Native Passkey Support in Embedded Browsers for Microsoft Admin Center
1 vote
Add native Passkey (WebAuthn) redirection support within the embedded browser session window (specifically for Edge/Chrome engines). This will allow MSPs and enterprise administrators to leverage the Private Mode (Tenant Isolation) feature while simultaneously adhering to Microsoft’s mandatory phishing-resistant MFA requirements (such as Entra Admin Center passkey logins).
Currently, Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) handles multi-tenant isolation beautifully via Private Mode in embedded browser entries. However, as Microsoft aggressively pushes phishing-resistant authentication—making passkeys mandatory for Entra admin center access—administrators hit a wall.
When trying to authenticate using a passkey inside an embedded browser tab, the WebAuthn API call fails or is unable to use the added passkey from the DVLS safe.
To work around this, we are forced to open sessions in an External Browser. While this fixes authentication, it completely breaks the tenant isolation benefits of Private Mode and clutters the local machine with multiple browser profiles. As an MSP, we need to open lots of Microsoft Admin Centres at the same time.. It is therefore necessary to have a central overview, with each entry opening in the embedded browser.
We need the embedded browser component in RDM to natively support integrated passkeys in the DVLS safe.
Why This Matters
Hi @podralski,
Thank you for reaching out, this has been in our plans for a while, I'll look into bumping priority.
