Two-factor Authentication (Office 365)
Two-factor authentication is commonly used by SharePoint Online (Office 365). VisualStudio does not (yet!) support interacting with the underlying electron browser to request/read headers from an external site, so users who author SharePoint solutions will need to create a unique Application ID and Password for each Site they work on.
Your username will take the format of an email address when prompted for login credentials.
Additional Configuration
To use an Application Id with two-factor authentication, set the authenticationType
property to Digest
in your spgo.json
file, or by selecting the “Digest” option when configuring your local environment with the SPGO> Configure Workspace
command.
