Default Microsoft offers password-free smartphone authentication

Azure Active Director certificate-based authentication

Software king of the world Microsoft is now offering a public preview of Azure AD CBA on devices running Apple's iOS and Android that uses certificates on Yubico's YubiKey hardware security key.

What is good about the technique is that it is based on certificates rather than passwords. Vole, Apple and Google are moving towards passwordless authentication to fend off phishing attacks designed to get around the really annoying multifactor authentication (MFA).
