You can automate code signing using Microsoft azure key vault. I did it last month, no need for a dongle nor a pin number

Also, Microsoft is working on a code signing service called Azure Code Signing where Microsoft issues and manages the certificate and keys and you simply upload binaries/app packages to Azure which does the signing.

As far as I can tell, the video is the only public information on the non-GA service: https://youtu.be/Wi-4WdpKm5E?t=529

That sounds like abuse of a monopoly position to me. They keep the horrendous status quo as bad as possible so their new product looks good by comparison.

I’m ready for bipartisan gutting of big tech.

So MS sells a solution to a problem they caused? fantastic, whats new.
It's iOS all over again. Computing freedom is something only enthusiasts have now.
