Alex Simons, the Director of Program Management, Microsoft Identity Division, from Microsoft posted in a Microsoft blog yesterday that "Over the last 12 months we’ve invested in incubating a set of ideas for using Blockchain (and other distributed ledger technologies) to create new types of digital identities, identities designed from the ground up to enhance personal privacy, security and control."
Microsoft is finally planning to upgrade the Microsoft Authenticator App (the distant second to the Google Authenticator App). They will be doing this by experimenting to bring Decentralized Identities (DIDs) to the app.
Alex stated that "Once we have added this capability, apps and services will be able to interact with user’s data using a common messaging conduit by requesting granular consent. Initially we will support a select group of DID implementations across blockchains and we will likely add more in the future."

Microsoft is late to the party again, but at least they showed up.
