Can I get a sample code for authorizing a runtime user against ArcGIS.COM? I like to have my own dialog box (not the default ESRI one) that prompts the user for named user login.

Don't really have a way to package up a working sample but basically have a View that has the Text boxes and a button to launch command. When that executes you create a Credential using the passed in username and password. Below is a ViewModel bound to the view (this is in Xamarin not WPF - and also uses Prism Framework). LoginCommand is bound to the button. Basically checks to make sure the user entered the username and password and then tries to connect using the IPortalManager service - Code below). public class LoginPopupPageViewModel : ViewModelBase { private readonly IPageDialogService _pageDialogService; private readonly IPortalManager _portalManager; #region Private Backing Fields private string _userName; private string _password; private bool _useDevAgol; private string _navigateToPage; private string _message; #endregion public LoginPopupPageViewModel(IPageDialogService pageDialogService, IPortalManager portalManager, IEventAggregator eventAggregator) : base(eventAggregator) { _pageDialogService = pageDialogService; _portalManager = portalManager; Title = "Peoples As-Built"; _useDevAgol = false; } #region Bound Properties public bool UseDevAgol { get => _useDevAgol; set => SetProperty(ref _useDevAgol, value); } public string UserName { get => _userName; set => SetProperty(ref _userName, value); } public string Password { get => _password; set => SetProperty(ref _password, value); } public string Message { get => _message; set => SetProperty(ref _message, value); } #endregion #region LoginCommand public DelegateCommand LoginCommand => new DelegateCommand(ExecuteLogin); public async void ExecuteLogin() { try { if (UserName == null) { await _pageDialogService.DisplayAlertAsync("User Name", "You need to enter a User Name", "Close"); return; } if (Password == null) { await _pageDialogService.DisplayAlertAsync("Password", "You need to enter a Password", "Close"); return; } Settings.UserName = UserName; Settings.Password = Password; Settings.UseDevAgol = UseDevAgol; await NavigationService.NavigateAsync("BusyPopupPage", new NavigationParameters("?message=Logging into ArcGIS Online")); //TODO: Check for connection - See Xamarin Essentials await _portalManager.OpenPortalAsync(); await NavigationService.GoBackAsync(new NavigationParameters("?source=busy")); if ( _portalManager.ConnectionStatus == ConnectionStatus.InvalidUser ) { await _pageDialogService.DisplayAlertAsync("Login failed", "Login failed.
