Using secure enclave with #Entra credentials is really a game changer for the MacOS SSO user experience. After years of using passwordless with Windows, I could never go back to using passwords, so having passwordless on MacOS with PSSO makes it possible.

fantastic idea @mmeggremm.bsky.social - can we add some automation, so it just runs on the first login of the day?
For years I have joked that I need a "wife" to keep me organized. Looks like I found my wife in Microsoft Copilot!

This simple prompt each morning has been a game changer:
"Review my calendar, emails, and Teams to make a list of items to catch up on and a list of items to prepare for."
