    AZ-305 · Question 08 · Domain 1.2: Authentication and Authorization

    Your organization is implementing a Zero Trust security model and wants to eliminate the use of passwords for employee authentication to Microsoft Entra ID.

    You need to recommend passwordless authentication methods that are natively supported by Microsoft Entra ID.

    Which TWO methods should you recommend? (Select TWO)

    Answer options:

    A.

    FIDO2 security keys

    B.

    Windows Hello for Business

    C.

    OATH hardware tokens

    D.

    SMS-based authentication

    E.

    Smart cards with AD FS

    How to approach this question

    Identify the modern, cloud-native passwordless solutions promoted by Microsoft for Entra ID.

    Full Answer

    FIDO2 security keys and Windows Hello for Business.
    Microsoft Entra ID natively supports three primary passwordless authentication methods: Windows Hello for Business, Microsoft Authenticator app, and FIDO2 security keys. These methods provide strong, phishing-resistant authentication suitable for a Zero Trust architecture. OATH tokens are for MFA, not passwordless sign-in.

    Common mistakes

    Selecting OATH tokens, confusing a second-factor MFA device with a primary passwordless authentication method.
