Yes, token protection in Microsoft Entra ID applies to devices managed through Intune Mobile Device Management (MDM).

Layth Chebbi @laythchebbi.com · Nov 17

The supported apps include Microsoft 365 apps (e.g., Word, Excel, and Outlook), as well as Exchange Online for scenarios involving app logins. You’re correct that these apps are not perpetual but subscription-based, and they are indeed supported as part of Microsoft 365.
