New Activity: MultiFactorAuthentication.Activities - Secure OTP Generation for Windows Projects

[bhushanwanhere]

Thanks! @Jon_Smith but I would like to correct you that the version you’re referring to is from 2022 by UiPath Team (Its created by community not UiPath official package ), and doesn’t truly support both Legacy and Windows—it’s either one or the other. That’s how framework work and yes, we can’t have a single activity that works perfectly on both as they are totally based on different .NET framework without backward compatibility.

Anyways the reason for creation of new one is as below for your reference

1. The 2022 Version’s Limitation – While it was designed for Windows, it requires Bouncy. Castle library , which introduces dependency complications.

2. Why new Package– The version I provided works on .NET and Windows namespaces [System.Security.Cryptography] only, avoiding third party Bouncy.Castle dependencies issue and ensuring smoother functionality.

That’s why an alternative was needed. Here are some relevant discussions on the issue for you :

How to automate two factor authentication?

Hey guys, I have solved this issue in a very easy way. Please just open project.json, and add “Portable.BouncyCastle”: “[1.9.0]”, into the “dependencies” key, and reopen your project on UiPath Studio, and run the project, then the google 2 steps authentication will be worked if you input the correct secret key into the activity. Hope can help all of you facing this issue.

Replacement for Two Step Authentication Activities

Hi Everyone, [image] Since the UiPathTeam.TwoStepAuthentication.Activities package is not compatible with Windows Projects, what’s a replacement or workaround for the ‘Get Microsoft Token’ activity (refer to screenshot)? The project in question needs to be Windows (not Windows-legacy) and is quite critical to business operations. Thank you!
