πŸ— Sign in to macOS with Office365 / Azure AD?

If you use macOS and Office365, here's a quick Friday tip. I use this combo myself and was annoyed I had a separate local account on the Mac.

If you use macOS and Office365, here's a quick Friday tip. I use this combo myself and was annoyed I had a separate local account on the Mac with a local password while having a different account in the cloud. IT folks aren't fond of this β€” they don't have it "under control", local accounts are hard to manage, and users gain another password to collect… Solution? Free up to 10 users, after that they'll bill you :-))
  1. JumpCloud β€” adds MFA at sign-in, similar to logging into your bank (TOTP or PUSH). Link and explanation of these crazy acronyms in the first comment.
  2. The neat thing: it works without Microsoft too β€” it's essentially a cloud-based Active Directory.
  3. Technically it does much more β€” Cloud RADIUS, MDM β€” but that's more for hardcore IT folks than regular users.
