New users accessing Devolutions Hub Business through Azure AD sign in will go through this configuration if they do not have a Devolutions Account. Since you do not want the user to define a password for this account, you need to have a way to store the Private Key. It is usually kept with the password account. This special and unique key for each user is needed when the user changes device or browser. On a daily basis, the device and browser recognize the current user, but not a new one.

This is why the user needs to store this Private Key on the Workspace mobile app. It will be much more convenient for the user to do a push notification to accept the new device or browser.
