Power App in Kiosk mode bypass authentication so it can stay on all the time

Question

Hi,

I have built a sign-in system using PowerApps. The plan is to use an iPad in kiosk mode to just run this Power app. It needs edit access to a Microsoft List and access to the PowerApp.

The issue I am having is. When opening PowerApps, it asks the user to log in and then the MFA every day. I need to remove this process, I just want the app to work autonomously without any sign-in/mfa required.

Kind regards,

Josh

Hi Josh, unfortunately there’s no official way to completely bypass Azure AD and MFA for a Power App in kiosk mode - access tokens still expire daily. You can, however, drastically reduce prompts:

-Intune Shared iPad: Enroll the iPad as a “Shared iPad for Business” and deploy the Power App in kiosk mode so it’s marked compliant.

-Conditional Access: Target your app and device group with a policy that skips MFA for compliant devices and extends the sign‑in frequency (e.g. every 14 days or more).

-Service Account: Use a dedicated service account (with MFA disabled) and save its credentials in the Power Apps Player so you’re not re‑authenticating each morning.

That setup lets the app run unattended while keeping your environment secure
