Bypassing passwordless verification for automated test account

[eddietomo]

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn’t find a straight forward solution,

Maybe whitelisting or a custom rule or something? What have others in this situation done?

Thanks.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for replying and your suggestion. Looks like that would work on an ad-hoc basis but for a general CI/CD workflow we’d need to add in the extra connection type and rule logic on a more permanent basis
