Think identity is just a username and password? When you are scaling a business, managing customer access becomes a massive challenge that requires more than just a simple login box. Microsoft Entra External ID is the modern solution designed to handle these complexities with ease.
In this video, we explore how Microsoft Entra External ID is replacing Azure AD B2C and why this shift matters for your business. We break down the three primary use cases including customer identity, business collaboration, and machine-to-machine communication. You will discover the essential differences between workforce and external tenants, helping you decide where your user data should live for maximum security and branding control.
We also take a deep dive into security features like conditional access and step-up authentication, which allow you to protect sensitive data without ruining the user experience. For the developers, we look at how the new platform moves away from painful XML policies in favor of the Microsoft Graph API and VS Code integrations. Whether you are starting a new project or planning a migration from B2C, this guide provides the roadmap you need to stay ahead of the curve in identity management.
