Hi,

I'm new to Power Automate and I didn't find any useful information on the Internet. Your comments and suggestions are welcome!

I'm trying to automate the process of login to an azure website. The usual login process include 2 parts:

1. Input username and password,

2. The website will be redirected to a page showing you to authenticate using Microsoft Authenticator App on phone

I found solutions to the first step, but how can I automate the second step? Thanks in advance!

Regards,

You cannot automate MFA that involves a mobile device (such as an SMS code or an authenticator app). This is simply not possible.

The real question here, however, is why you would want to do that? It is likely possible to use an API to do what you need or maybe even a connector in cloud flows. If you do it properly (without the web UI), you may not need to go through the MFA sequence.

Thank you for your reply!
I didn't find any solution to circumvent MFA on the internet. May you please elaborate more about the API?
Regarding connectors in cloud flows, after login the web page, I need to: populate text field on web page + click "RUN" button + save outputs. I checked it's not possible to do this with cloud flow.

Of course, these actions cannot directly be performed via a cloud flow. But the end result of what you are trying to achieve might be possible via an action in cloud flows. So, what is the actual end result that you want to achieve?

Despite that it is totally not desired....
You can install an SMS tool on your system which is related to a mobile number.
You can then have your authentication route to this phone number. Which you then can receive on your mobile and on this app on your system.
The authentication code can be captured when it is received and put into your MFA call.
