Apple SSO documentation records a Secure Enclave requirement for new device registrations

5 August was a quiet, documentation-only Entra ID period. The clearest substantive update is a changed Apple SSO device-key requirement: new device registrations require Apple Secure Enclave beginning July 2025, replacing the prior Keychain storage path. The SLA update is operational reporting. The supplied summaries do not support calling the Mandatory MFA, group provisioning, or What's New page updates a feature launch, preview, retirement, or other behavior change.

  Apple SSO changes device-identity key storage for new registrations

  The Apple SSO plugin documentation says Microsoft Entra ID is transitioning from Apple Keychain to Apple Secure Enclave for device identity keys. Beginning July 2025, new device registrations require Secure Enclave. This is the period’s clearest changed-behavior and security-related item, not evidence of a newly launched Entra feature.
