Wanted to check if we have an official date or a more precise estimate for when the OAuth method will be fully deprecated (as noted in the warning on this page) in favor of the Entra ID method.

Hello !

Thank you for posting on MS Learn Q&A.

Microsoft recommends migrating existing Azure DevOps OAuth apps to Microsoft Entra ID OAuth as soon as possible rather than waiting for the final cutoff date. All new integrations should use Entra ID OAuth.

The most precise public milestones currently available are:

April 23, 2025: Azure DevOps OAuth stopped accepting new app registrations. Existing apps can continue for now.

Existing Azure DevOps OAuth apps are stated to continue working until the platform’s official retirement in 2026, but no public month/day is listed in the docs/release notes.

Microsoft has already started preparation steps, such as regularly removing OAuth apps whose secrets expired more than 180 days ago.

    Hello Vanta Integration,

    Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A platform!

    Regarding your query about a more precise timeline for the legacy Azure DevOps OAuth method deprecation, Microsoft has not yet announced a specific day or month for the final end-of-life cutoff in 2026.

    According to the official Azure DevOps Sprint 254 Update documentation:

    "Starting in April 2025, we're no longer supporting new registrations of Azure DevOps OAuth apps. This is a first step towards our longer-term vision of retiring the Azure DevOps OAuth platform. We recommend that all developers building applications on top of Azure DevOps REST APIs explore the Microsoft identity platform and registering a new Entra application instead. All existing Azure DevOps OAuth apps will continue working until the platform's official retirement in 2026."

    Currently, "sometime in 2026" is the most granular timeframe publicly available. Microsoft hasn’t published a specific day or month yet. We highly recommend that you do not wait for the final date to be announced. Instead, proactively plan to migrate your existing integrations to Microsoft Entra ID OAuth as soon as possible to ensure there is no disruption to your services when the legacy platform goes offline.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance with the Entra ID migration, please let us know!
