Power Apps and Okta Verification

Hi,

We use Okta for identity management for our O365 accounts and I'm interested in using it from within my apps as an additional level of authentication - perhaps an Okta login or MFA screen before a user can interact with the app:

 

I've seen other posts asking this but haven't seen any recent ones. Does anyone know if this is possible? Could this be accomplished by using creating a custom connector in Power Automate? 

 

  • RobotRising Hi, turns out you have to work with Microsoft to get this type of functionality with Power Apps. It's just with the Power Apps mobile app, and not on an app-per-app basis. So, if you open the mobile app for Power Apps it would take you to the Okta screen. Then after selecting an app from the home screen it would take you straight to the app. If I signed out of the Power Apps app and signed in again I would get the Okta screen again as well.
