Flow Credentials: Best Practices?
Hi Courtney!
Its totally ok to use your own credentials, as you can then share your Flow out with teammates so its not only owned by you, in case something were to happen or you were to leave.
Also, when a password chages, Microsoft Flow is able to still persist. The only way that Flow connections will expire is if your environment admin were to kill your tokens. Not refresh them.. Kill them.
If you want to get quick help on Flow related items, i would reccommend you join the official community at: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Flow-Community/ct-p/FlowCommunity
Let me know if i can be of any more help!

Wow, so what I'm reading in this thread is that the flow doesn't actually rely on credentials at all but is solely dependent on the the token. That's actually quite convenient and extremely powerful. So truly, a service account isn't needed but I'm guessing it's not the worst idea, at least for organizing all your flows. How long are those valid? I suppose I could actually look it up.................
