Microsoft Entra ID: Retirement of duplicative properties in passkey (FIDO2) authentication methods policy

Starting October to November 2027, Microsoft will retire the isAttestationEnforced and keyRestrictions properties from the fido2AuthenticationMethodConfiguration API. These will sync with new properties in the updated passkey policy API schema during transition. Admins must update configurations, automations, and integrations accordingly.

Introduction

Starting October 2027 and ending November 2027, we will retire the isAttestationEnforced and keyRestrictionsproperties from the existing fido2AuthenticationMethodConfiguration API schema. This change aligns with the latest update to the passkey policy API schema, which introduces support for granular group-based configurations with passkey profiles.

During the retirement period, isAttestationEnforced and keyRestrictions will remain in sync with their counterparts attestationEnforcement and keyRestrictions within the Default passkey profile.

When this will happen 

Retirement begins in mid-October 2027 and is expected to complete by early November 2027.
