Gave it a shot and downloaded the app on win 11 with the intention of trying to rdp from my laptop to my desktop.

When the app started it asked me to sign in (WTF), entered my Microsoft Account (personal, not azure AD) and was meet with the error message: Personal accounts are not supported (WTF).

Utterly useless app at least for accessing on-prem devices on a home network.

I go back to the good old remote desktop app that comes with windows because that is working flawless.

Of course it doesn't work flawless.

If you have been a good boy and followed Microsoft best practice and configured your Microsoft Account to be passwordless account as I have you of course cannot login because, as you would expect, the RDP app doesn't work with passwordless accounts.

It only like 4 - 5 years since Microsoft introduced passwordless accounts so of course that too little time for an organization with 100K+ developers to implement their own best practices in their own products. sigh.
