Username and Password

Summary

  • Runs: as a user.
  • Scenario: unattended automation.
  • Delegated permissions.
Note: This authentication type does not work when multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled. If your application requires MFA, you can run attended automation using the Interactive Token authentication type or unattended automation using Application ID and Secret and Application ID and Certificate. Application ID and Secret and Application ID and Certificate authentication types are appropriate for unattended automation and work regardless of whether the MFA is enabled or disabled.

Details

  • This authentication type is provided only for legacy reasons. We do not recommend using this option, as it goes against the principles of modern authentication. It doesn't work for multi-factor authentication (MFA). See details here: User & Password on GitHub.
  • Although it is not recommended by Microsoft, you can use this authentication type in public client applications. Using this authentication type imposes constraints on your application. For instance, apps using this flow won't be able to sign in a user who needs to perform multifactor authentication (conditional access). It won't enable your application to benefit from single sign-on either.
  • The ApplicationID property is required when selecting the Username and Password authentication type. You can register your Microsoft 365 Application using your personal, work, and/or school account.
