About Passport with Microsoft Entra ID Web Login
Passport with Microsoft Entra ID Web Login signs users in through a web view of your organization’s Microsoft Entra ID sign-in page, so Conditional Access and MFA can run at login. For Mac Login (username and password at the Mac login window without that web view), use Configure Passport with Microsoft Entra ID - Mac Login.How It Works
Passport integrates with your Microsoft Entra ID tenant at the macOS login screen. In Web Login mode, users complete Entra ID sign-in (including MFA when required) in that web view before the local Mac session is created or updated.Prerequisites
- Access to a Microsoft Entra ID admin account that can grant the Passport app the correct permissions.
- For MFA settings in Microsoft Entra ID, see Microsoft’s MFA configuration guide.

Required Changes Before June 15, 2026
On June 15, 2026, Microsoft Entra ID starts enforcing Conditional Access more broadly for policies that target All resources (formerly All cloud apps) and include resource exclusions. Sign-ins that request only baseline scopes, includingopenid, profile, email, and User.Read, will be subject to those policies.
Passport Web Login requests those scopes as a public client. If you already use Passport Web Login, you need the steps below only when you want password verification and synchronization to work without MFA being enforced through Conditional Access on policies scoped to All resources (you exempt Passport from MFA instead of having users complete MFA during web sign-in). If users complete MFA in the Entra ID web view, you generally do not need the custom scope, Step 3, or the Additional scopes Library Item update; your tenant may still need the path under If you do not use Conditional Access policies. If you skip required updates, sign-in and password sync can break once the change reaches your tenant.
If you are configuring Passport Web Login for the first time using this article, the Microsoft Entra ID and Iru Endpoint tabs above already include these updates where they apply.
Read Enforcement for baseline scopes in Conditional Access for more detail.
If you skip these updates
If you do not prepare before June 15, 2026:- New users might not be able to sign in with Passport.
- Existing users might need to switch to local login after a reboot or logout.
- Password sync and state management can stop working.
- Microsoft Entra ID might record extra failed sign-in events.
If you do not use Conditional Access policies
If you do not use Conditional Access, or you want the old behavior across your tenant while you test:1
Register a placeholder application
Register a single-tenant application in Microsoft Entra ID to serve as the custom target resource for baseline scopes. No additional configuration is required during registration. See Create an application in Customize behavior.
2
Exclude the application from the relevant policy
In each Conditional Access policy where you need to retain legacy behavior, exclude the placeholder application from Target resources. See Exclude the application from the relevant policy in Microsoft’s documentation.
3
Select the application in Baseline scopes settings
Open Baseline scopes settings, select Customize behavior, select the placeholder application, then select Save. See Select the application in the Baseline scopes settings UX in Microsoft’s documentation.
4
No Passport Library Item changes required
You do not need to change your Passport Library Item in Iru Endpoint.
