How do I integrate Auth0 MFA into a .net Winforms/SQL desktop application?

Hi:

New to Auth0/Okta here.

We have a .Net Winforms application which is supported by a backend SQL DB (either Azure or on prem hosted). Currently we have a simple username/pwd login scheme which authenticates against a user table in the above mentioned DB.

Customers have been requesting that we additionally secure our log in process by adding MFA.
I have looked at a couple of WInforms/WPF examples that I found online. It’s not clear to me how this would fit into our current login/authentication scheme.

Can someone perhaps get me pointed in the right direction with some examples/advice that would be suited to our requirements?

Thanks,
JohnB

Hi @jxbma,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community and sorry for the late reply.

Firstly in order to integrate your project within Auth0 you can follow the WinForms SDK that provides step by step documentation on how to initiate the login process. You can enable the custom database option so you can authenticate users from your existing user store by following this documentation.

Afterwards the easiest option in order to enable Multi-Factor Authentication would be using the Auth0 Dashboard.

Thank you for your post.
Best regards,
Remus
