Assessment Reasoning
This introduces a new security capability in public preview, allowing voice biometrics in Dynamics 365 Contact Center. Admins may need to review options and plan for future rollout, but no immediate action or enforcement is mentioned. User impact is indirect as changes occur in authentication flows but are not yet mandatory. Effort is moderate as implementation will require configuration, governance and testing when adopted, but current urgency is low since it’s only in preview and optional.

📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement
Dynamics 365 Contact Center – Use voice biometrics to authenticate for increased security
Message ID: MC1454344
We are announcing the ability to use voice biometrics to authenticate for increased security in Dynamics 365 Contact Center. This feature will reach public preview on August 31, 2026.
How does this affect me?
The authentication and anti-fraud agent offer valuable capabilities:
- Native integration into the Dynamics 365 Contact Center and Copilot Studio voice agent platform, allowing voice enrolment and verification in both human to AI agent, and human to human contexts.
- Enable secure self-service transactions with voice biometrics, optional one-time passwords, and knowledge-based challenges for a multi-factored authentication strategy.
- Pre-authenticate callers before reaching a service representative, reducing call times, and improving customer experience.
- Centralize, standardize, and automate caller authentication processes. A single tool to define, measure and audit customer authentication.
What action do I need to take?
