Best practices for Power Automate with service account
LAA-IT Re-authentication is proving troublesome for us too. Does anyone have a solution for this other than disabling MFA and/or password changing policies?
- MFA on the service account is still an issue. We had to remove MFA from this account. When the token expires, the flows don't run, need re-authentication and it was a complete mess. Other solutions are overly convoluted. MS fails to properly address this yet again.
MyoPig Our service account has now the message that we only have 14 days left to register MFA for the service account. Microsoft is forcing also service accounts to use MFA. This will hamper all our flows, which we all added to the service account. How can we bypass the need for MFA? Or how can we get our flows keep on working after MFA is introduced also for the service account? Any solutions?
Gilbert_Smulders , I might be incorrect, but I think the enforcement for MFA is only applicable for certain applications as per the below link. I think if they were to enforce the MFA for all service accounts, it would cause major issues for everyone that uses them in the Power Platform.
You may need to setup a conditional access policy for your service accounts to bypass MFA.
