Go to the Azure Portal and navigate to Azure Active Directory.
Select App registrations > New registration.
Fill in the required details (e.g., app name, supported account types).
After registering, go to Certificates & secrets to generate a new client secret. Store this secret securely.
In API permissions, add the required Microsoft Graph permissions (e.g., User.Read.All, Mail.Send). Choose Application permissions for unattended access.

Hi

I have all that and I run MS Graph clients fine on Windows platforms (win/web). The issue is that with mobile devices certain types of unattended logins are not supported. That is my question; just pertaining to a method of unattended login from Maui/mobile.

Can I call a web api to get an MS Graph token and use that to create an MS Graph client for instance?

Thanks

you can use a clientis/client secret to login from mobile. the question is to how to securely deliver the secret (and update when expired) to the mobile app.
