cloud flow to desktop flow on non domain joined machine

Posted on by 286
I have personal laptop with PAD installed. PAD is logged in with 365 account
 
I did whoami. Got the domain and user. However, since i use windows login (With HEllo PIN or faceID  or FIngerscan ),  i do not have a password
 
What do i enter in password?
 
I tried 365 credentials too , but did not work (As expected since it has MFA)
 
I can create one local account, however i do not want to login to dedicated local acocunt just to run my dekstop flows in attended mode while I work on my primary account all the time. 
 
surely i cant be the first one with this issue?

    Even if you now use Windows Hello your account had a password at one time when you first logged in. That is the password you use. Since your screenshot shows a hotmail address I assume this is a Microsoft account. That will have a password.

    Ok. i guess i just had to look closely under sign in options. There is setting to allow password login as well. (which is your microsoft personal accounts password i.e.hotmail for me)

    @Pstork1 Yes yes, I knew password. Issue was , my machine did not let me use the password and only relied on Windows Hello. More i think about this is more i feel now its window login issue than Power platfomr issue. 
     
    I just had to enable Passowrd login and then Desktop connection in power plarform started recognizing username and passowrd.
