There are many awesome Dynamics 365 add-ons (including PowerObjects’ PowerPack add-ons) that all require a username and password to connect to your Dynamics 365 online environment so that data can flow between the two systems. With increasing awareness of – and need for – additional security, many Dynamics 365 online customers have turned on MFA (multi-factor authentication) for their users, which means their users are required to both enter a password AND get a phone call/text message with a verification code. However, these add-ons don’t come with the ability to enter an additional verification code. So, Office 365 has introduced something called App Passwords, which allows users to generate a password to use for these add-ons in order to bypass the MFA for that user. In today’s blogpost, we’ll show you how it works.
There are two ways to generate an app password:
Next, go to Security & privacy > Additional security verification
Finally, click Create and manage app passwords and then click Create.
Note: You will not be able to view the password after you close the window, so make sure to copy the password to your clipboard before you leave that screen.
You can now choose to create a single app password for all apps or a separate app password for each app to which you’d like to connect your Dynamics 365 environment.
