Implement Azure AD Continuous Access in an ASP.NET Core Razor Page app using a Web API
This article shows how Azure AD continuous access (CA) can be used in an ASP.NET Core UI application to force MFA when using an administrator API from a separate ASP.NET Core application. Both applications are secured using Microsoft.Identity.Web. An ASP.NET Core Razor Page application is used to implement the UI application. The API is implemented […]

The “acr_values” parameter is used to pass the mfa value from the client to the server in the authentication request. Code: https://github.com/damienbod/AspNetCoreHybridFlowWithApi Blogs in this series Force ASP.NET Core OpenID […]
Force ASP.NET Core OpenID Connect client to require MFA
This article shows how an ASP.NET Core Razor Page application which uses OpenID Connect to sign in, can require that users have authenticated using MFA (multi factor authentication).

Adding FIDO2 Passwordless authentication to an ASP.NET Core Identity App
This article shows how FIDO2 WebAuthn could be used for a passwordless sign in integrated into an ASP.NET Core Identity application. The FIDO2 WebAuthn is implemented using the fido2-net-lib Nuget package, and demo code created by Anders Åberg. The application is implemented using ASP.NET Core 3.0 with Identity. For information about FIDO2 and WebAuthn, please […]
