Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for passwordless access to virtual desktops. A request can be received to launch a virtual desktop provided by a software defined data center from a client having previously authenticated a user via a passwordless login. The client can be authenticated to a connection server and a virtual desktop. Authenticating the client to the virtual desktop can include receiving a request from the connection server to initiate a session, wherein the request includes an identifier generated by the client in association with the passwordless login, caching the identifier with the session, connecting to the client to establish a virtual channel connection, specifying a key storage provider to perform the authentication via the cached identifier, and performing cryptographic operations with the client via the virtual channel connection. The virtual desktop can be launched responsive to authenticating the client to the virtual desktop.
