Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When trying to sign in the talk client with Entra ID a Conditional Access policy is triggered that wants to verify the device i am using. (Mobile Device Management) The talk client doesn't forward the device info resulting in a Microsoft 53003 error with Device-id: Not available. When we disable the Conditional Access rule that checks the device the talk client logs in without an error.

Describe the solution you'd like
Companies have clear Mobile Device Management policies and are increasingly restricting the devices on which users can access their apps and data. It would be great if the device info can automatically be send from the talk client to EntraID.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the webinterface in chrome/edge is a bypass for the moment as they do forward the device info.

Research direction

Start by tracing the desktop sign-in flow and how the Talk client communicates with Microsoft Entra ID; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Determine what device information Conditional Access requires and verify that sign-in succeeds without Microsoft error 53003 when device-based policy checks are enabled.
