Microsoft OAuth
A public identity authentication integration provided by Microsoft. Any user with a Microsoft account can sign in through the OAuth/OIDC protocols, making it suitable for self-service registration and PLG models.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Microsoft OAuth (Sign in with Microsoft) targets any user with a Microsoft account, including personal accounts, Xbox accounts, and work accounts; configuration is simple, usually requiring only registering an OAuth app and obtaining client credentials.
Microsoft OAuth suits self-service signup and PLG (product-led growth) models, while Entra SSO suits B2B deals aimed at enterprise IT procurement.
The application can determine the sign-in path based on the user's email domain: if the domain belongs to a configured Entra tenant, the user is directed to that enterprise's SSO flow; otherwise it falls back to generic Microsoft OAuth sign-in.
When a customer only asks for employees to sign in with one click using Microsoft accounts, Microsoft OAuth alone is most likely sufficient; when the customer's security or IT team requires employees to sign in through the company identity system and have access managed centrally by it, that is the Entra SSO scenario.
Delivering only OAuth to a customer that explicitly requires enterprise-grade SSO is very likely to be rejected outright at the security review stage.
