How to initialize a browser session from authenticator login

Question

Hi,
I have a flutter application and we are using MSAL to authenticate users. In case of availability of Authenticator, the user can login through Authenticator. Inside the app, if we try to open a webpage corresponding to the same, it requires login again. Is there a way the session created through authenticator is shared with the app browser.

Hi there!
I'm not sure this is focused on Microsoft Authenticator so much as MSAL. However, I think that you need to make sure that your app has an appropriate redirect URI setup, and integrate with a Broker Application (like Microsoft Authenticator) Check this article SSO on Android using MSAL Do keep in mind that just because an account is LISTED in Microsoft Authenticator does NOT mean that it is setup to provide auth for an account, either. The Microsoft Authenticator app will display accounts that are detected from other apps as well, even if they are not configured IN Microsoft Authenticator - like a Work account in Outlook, or OneDrive apps, but you won't be able to tap into it (it will be dark-greyed out) unless it is actually set up.
