Feature details
Microsoft Entra External ID enhances Power Pages' security capabilities by offering extensive customization options for sign-in and registration pages, aligning with your brand's theme. It supports multifactor authentication (MFA) and integration with popular social identity providers like Google and Facebook.
The setup process for Entra External ID on Power Pages is now streamlined. Traditionally, this setup required navigating multiple interfaces, such as the Microsoft Entra admin center, the Portal Management app, and design studio. However, the new wizard setup within Power Pages simplifies this process by providing a unified setup experience directly within the design studio's identity providers section. This inline experience mirrors the manual configuration approach and is designed to be intuitive for makers.
