M365 Authentication has always been an issue for us because a person must stop their work to reconnect or it's likely that reports and processes won't run because the environment is no longer connected. I don't understand how Microsoft allows 30 days, but ShareGate's session drops the connection after 3 days (if not sooner sometimes).

Having signon retained throughout a session would literally add years to my life.

To contribute this idea with my experience; indeed authentication design needs to change - especially it relies on Internet Explorer, which is about to be sunsetted in few days by Microsoft.

It still amazes me how bad the authentication system is in Sharegate. The product is so polished otherwise and is massively let down by this. For large scale migrations we will need to use competing products because of the re-authentication pain with SG:D. We also cannot recommend the product for use in that scenario.

Also, with IE 11 going out of support in 6 months time, this needs to be resolved.

Fix this, Sharegate.

Hi SG team,

Seek your team URGENT attention on this suggestion. This is consider as high risk to share the migration ID to multiple executor as to avoid SPO throttle issue. Really appreciate teams can do some magic on this. Since Insane mode leverage on service principal , Azure Key vault can be integrate with ShareGate to store the password.

We are working on migrating hundreds of sites, and having to continually log into the tenant (and the remember the log in / don't ask for 30 days doesn't work) slows our progress considerably. Also migrations I processed as late as yesterday lose connection - and usually I can't just reconnect so I have to start over. It would be nice to have it remember the login.

I work on close to a dozen sites in Online. Every time I open ShareGate, it asks for (browser) authentication for every single site. Even if there are no tasks running or scheduled.
It would be great if non-active sites would not ask for authentication constantly.

Hi.. Being able to store credentials and choose them from a drop down menu for example would be super handing on the Authenication screens. I am forever typing in my username and password for O365. It'be super handy to store these in a secure fashion. Thanks

MFA workflow is rough. Need to figure out a way to save credentials or at least not prompt twice when copying from one site to another with the same tenant-admin site login.

I have to enter my password and approve the access each time i connect to my SharePoint Online environment, regardless if i select approve and keep approval for 60days option.

Add a tab for saving and managing credentials. I might have a long list of saved connections, all using the same credentials. If my password changes, i have to change it everywhere. Create an area to manage sets of credentials, then allow picking from a drop down in explorer.

We have a migration project - Connecting to on prem SharePoint (Source) with User Account A (from Active Directory) and connecting to O365 SPO with a User Account B (which exists only in O365). When doing Migraton on Site Collection Level, we have to enter the Authentication Credentials (Other user) every time again. I will be a big plus, when the tool offers a credential manager to store credentials and select them in the Select Destination Form.

Cheers, Stephan

The current tool does not support MFA, I am unable to leverage the App Password, for Global Administrator or Administrator accounts that I use for Managing my Office 365 space.

Keep my credentials saved so i dont have to reauthenticate every single time

Is there a way to stay connected to O365 when starting Migration Jobs? Having to continually sign into O365 for every job "after" signing is quite annoying.

I would love to have only to submit one set of credentials (and maybe have to say "use for all", for example) and then have source and destination login with these automatically.

I use Sharegate migration for making copies and herstructuring existing setups on Office365.

Even when doing several migration tasks, Sharegate should be using this set of credentials. As admin I always use my admin account with MFA and its annoying to have to keep submitting name, password and security number for every source and destination I connect to, both source and target are in the cloud (Office365 - non-hybrid).

When performing a migration i'm being asked to sign in for both the source and the destination whereas a lot of the time its the same credentials for both. I.e. Within the same tenant. It would be helpful to just be able to signin once at the beginning of a session.

hi
another suggestion: saved credentials / accounts.
it would be nice to enter it once and re-use it everytime needed.

also / or
some times i am using "other user" option (same "other" user for source and dest).
it would be nice to enter it once (for source) and then skip it for dest

thanks

Allow to save the "other user" credentials in Sharegate. I always use my admin account to connect to all the sites/site collections in Sharegate. This account is not the same that I use to log into my computer. I always have to type my admin credentials the first time I connect. It will be great to have my admin account to show up as an option when I select "other user". This is useful as admins migrate thousands of sites, not only one of sites.

The possibility to use the same credentials to authenticate at the source as well as at the destination
