Microsoft Authenticator : Multi-Factor Authentication

[Sarah_Keown]

Hi, is anyone aware of whether I can setup Multi factor authentication with AppSheet using the Microsoft authenticator. 

Multi-factor authentication is a process in which users are prompted during the sign-in process for an additional form of identification, such as a code on their cellphone or a fingerprint scan.

We have this setup within our company for users signing into there Microsoft accounts, they are required to use the authenticator app on their mobile to approve the sign in. 

Is it possible to implement this in appsheet?

There is nothing to implement in AppSheet.  All authentication is handled by the provider.  If you turn on multi-factor authentication,  the provider should perform those steps, including fingerprint scanning, to determine authentication separate from the app.  Your app only ever knows if a user is authenticated or not and will only launch the app if the user IS authenticated.

If you are asking to replace Microsoft's authentication process by building your own in AppSheet, then the answer is no, it is not possible.  AppSheet relies on 3rd party authentication services only.
