Good morning,
We are a school and using an A1 plan. I have just discovered that i cannot use the gateway/SQL connector on this plan. I have an app that will register a username & password. I'm wondering with ever tightening budgets, is there a free way to store this information that isn't in an Excel document without having to purchase powerapps Plan 1/2?
Thanks.
Hi @Joko ,
Firstly,the reason why you can't use gateway is that gateway can only be used in customized environment.And,only Plan2 users can create customized environment.
Secondly,I would like to check some points:
Look forward to your reply.

Hi there,
Thanks for replying.
Yeah, so i didn't want users to create passwords and have them stored within plain text and due to our currently plan we cannot use the custom connectors. So what i have thought to do, is still have the passwords stored in excel but have them more as 4 digit pin numbers. This stops our staff from using passwords that 'may' be the same as any network passwords. It's a huge shame that i cannot use my own SQL server, but this is a fitting work around.
