Version: ShareGate Migrate 26.1.5
Release Date: 29 January 2026
What's new
We've added Modern authentication to the available authentication methods for SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business migrations in ShareGate Migrate.
You can try this new connection method as an alternative to Other user, which relies on the IDCRL cookie, which Microsoft is deprecating shortly for Microsoft 365 only.
It is a safer and preferred method when connecting to Microsoft 365.
The connection can persist over 90 days and can be refreshed.
Modern authentication is available to use in your PowerShell scripts. You can find examples in these two articles:
We've renamed Other user to Manual for on-premises SharePoint environments.
Modern authentication is currently only available for SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business migration connections, not yet available for connections in the Explorer or other features.
