We are releasing the use certificate-based authentication in desktop flow connections feature for Power Automate. This feature enhances security by allowing the use of certificates stored in Azure Key Vault for connecting to Windows sessions on desktop flow machines. Certificate-based authentication credentials can meet Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requirements. This feature will reach general availability on March 31, 2025.

Credentials in Power Automate now support certificate-based authentication (CBA). The experience mirrors that of using passwords stored in Azure Key Vault.
