Multifactor authentication

Also known as: MFA, multi-factor authentication, two-factor authentication

Multifactor authentication asks a user for a second form of verification, such as a code on their phone or a fingerprint, in addition to the password.

Microsoft now requires multifactor authentication for administrator users. If the administrator who gave consent for Power Apps and Power Automate has no MFA set up, the permissions are revoked and you have to give consent again.

To stop this, set up MFA for the dedicated Power Platform account, or adjust the MFA policies that apply to it, then give consent again.

For example, the policy templates Global administrators without MFA and Administrators without MFA flag the administrators in your tenant who have no MFA set up.

The Entra ID inventory holds the registration credentials of each user, which show the authentication methods a user has registered and whether the user is an admin.
