Blue Prism Authenticator

Has anyone successfully gotten the Blue Prism Authenticator to work?
Specifically what do you put for the moving factor?
Also got some error about Base32 conversion - does the secret key need to be handled in a specific way?

Hello Steven,

Are you using MS Auth or Google Auth?
And when you say Moving Factor which Data item are you talking about?
It is working fine for me with Google Auth and did not get any error so trying to understand the error you're facing.

Realised a "question" type thread doesn't allow me to reply.... doh!
Thanks Tejaskumar for responding.
It is MS Auth that is being used.
And in reading further about your question regarding moving factor, I just realised that it only applies if you are after a HOTP.
We should be using TOTP

The challenge is whether using Microsoft Authenticator will default to push notification vs manual keying in of TOTP - unless it is specifically disabled in AAD MFA settings.
Perhaps the only way to get this to work without disabling AAD MFA push notification is to Google Auth?

@Steven Ooi,

Push notifications, for Authenticator, would only apply to use of the mobile app. If you’re trying to enable 2FA for a Digital Worker you wouldn’t want to use push notifications. It’s up to you to educate the IT folks about how this would work in an RPA situation.

Cheers,
Eric
