Task 3: Test The Workflow

The QR code needed to continue the flow requires a front-end authenticator app to process and return the QR code based on the keyUri value returned by Step 4: Pair authenticator app (QR code) in Task 2: Configure Your Test User.

To continue this flow without an associated front-end app, you can manually pair the response from Step 4 above with a third-party authenticator application to return the OTP. For example, you can download and use MS Authenticator (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/authenticator/download-microsoft-authenticator).

To use a third-party authenticator app to get the OTP:

  1. Copy the secret property value.

  2. In the authenticator app, navigate to the screen that allows you to enter a secret manually.

  3. Paste the secret into your authenticator app.

  4. Click Finish to generate the OTP.

After generating the OTP manually from the authenticator app, you can complete the authorization and authentication flow steps to get the access token.
