Or you spend 5 minutes reading about them and use a passkey you actually own? Many times, people choose TooBigTech. People are generally waaaay too lazy to even consider spending some brain cycles on that.

Unless the service you are trying to log in to requires you to only use an approved authenticator, as is explicitly supported by the spec[1].

lol, Microslop shooting themselves in the foot once again. At this point people will move to MacOS or Linux because so much damage to their brand can’t simply be ignored anymore.

Writing this from a corporate win11 computer, the whole thing is so laggy, it's unbelievable. Last year, I had revived my old desktop from 2007 with an intel Q6600, windows xp and a clicky dying HDD, and that thing flied compared to this. Dear Microsoft and its partners (Especially DELL!), what the hell happened?!

Yes 100% Microsoft is at fault, I just ment anyone working with them should expect at least communication problems and needs to work to keep the channels open.

Really? At my workplace if we had a vendor email us about needing to take some action to continue being able to work with them, but we didn't follow through with that, any business disruption would be squarely on us for not handling it. At the very least even if we can't meet a supposed deadline, we need to work with the vendor to get extensions if possible, and if that's not possible then we either need to mitigate…

Its $600 in the states. $500 if you are a student. What is a cheaper but good enough alternative in your opinion?

I don't live in the states.

Microsoft loves sending emails with "Action required" in the subject, when actually no action is required, or it doesn't apply to you, or whatever. Such corporate speak. It's fun searching your email for "Action required" and finding all the things you were supposed to do and it turns out didn't need to do anything about.

"Crying wolf" constantly like this is so frustrating. It waters down the message until they send something you really need to worry about, which you ignore like the rest of the pointless messages.
