Class VisualStudioCodeCredential

Namespace

Azure.Identity

Assembly

Azure.Identity.dll

Enables authentication to Microsoft Entra ID as the user signed in to Visual Studio Code via the 'Azure Account' extension.

It's a known issue that VisualStudioCodeCredential doesn't work with Azure Account extension versions newer than 0.9.11. A long-term fix to this problem is in progress. In the meantime, consider authenticating with AzureCliCredential.
