Verify password come back regularly

[MichaelFR]

Hello,

I use Flow since some months now and I have a problem with connection.

I use a generic account for some flows.

The password doesn't change.

But regularly (arround 1 time a month) my flows failed because I need to verify password.

I have approvals so often the flow failed in his half. I need to restart the flow and approvers must approve the same things that they had already approve.

We have MFA but not when we connect internally.

Do you have a solution please?

For me there is 2 problems that blocks development of Flow in my society. This problem with connections and that flow is very linked to an account. So a solution is to create generic account but it has a cost.

Hi @ MichaelFR,

For your first question:

Could you please share more details of the flow which you would need to verify password 1 time a month?Which action would run failed and require to verify password 1 time a month?

Please check if you have configure the token lifetimes of the connection,you could refer to link below to learn more about the token lifetimes:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-configurable-token-lifetime...

For your second question:

Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of the flow which often failed in his half?

Could you please share more details of the error when the flow run failed?

Please check if the flow would run failed because the flow is run time out.

Please share more details so we could provide a proper workaround for you.

Regards,
Alice Zhang

Hello,

Thanks for your return.

I try to give you more details with screens.

One of my flow had failed when it tries to send an e-mail.

All my connections :

So I connected to flow and I have a pop-up that tell me that one of my connection was disconnected. An outlook connection. So I refresh my connection by clicking on "Verify password". And relauch the flow.

After that tho flow failed on the forms connector (the first connector of my flow):

Same things. I verify password for forms and relauch the flow.

Then the flow crash on the second connector (office):

Same things. After that I make for the last connector (One drive) details/Authentify. To avoid the same problem with my file on OneDrive.

I only don't have problem with approvals.

It's possible we have a lifetime of the token. But it's manage by a security team on IT. Not me.

And it's a microsoft product, with microsoft connectors. So I thought Flow works like an internal application. Without need to refresh connection.

Is it possible to have an illimite lifetime only for flow?

Regards.
