So my biggest question here is: Is this Azure only? Each announcement about it seems to indicate that I might not be able to use this key with my local account PC.
Specifically, I have one use case computer where I have no screen, and getting through Windows login without it can be troublesome. I'd love to use this key to unlock it instead, but it's an offline machine.
I had this plan with Yubikey for Windows Hello, which has been out a while, and I bought a Yubikey, and discovered it could only unlock my Windows machine if it was locked (not logged out), which defeated the purpose entirely.
You can use other identity providers for Azure AD. Shibboleth is supported, F5 and Ping are certified, there are others. If you use a different LDAP system than AD you can also sync your identities to Azure AD. OpenLDAP or one of the commercial vendors. It might be a little more elbow grease, but it works.
