Hey @mccr,

I would use the ‘Credentials Configuration’ node with the ‘Microsoft Authenticator’

The flow variable should show up in the authenticator node and you should be able to use it. I am fairly certain the Workflow Credentials are deprecated which may be why it is not recognized by the newer nodes.

Also see:

Hope this helps,
