1.24.0b1 (2025-07-17)

Features Added

• Expanded the set of acceptable values for environment variable AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS to allow for selection of a specific credential in the DefaultAzureCredential chain. At runtime, only the specified credential will be used when acquiring tokens with DefaultAzureCredential. For example, setting AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=WorkloadIdentityCredential will make DefaultAzureCredential use only WorkloadIdentityCredential.
  • Valid values are EnvironmentCredential, WorkloadIdentityCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential, AzureCliCredential, AzurePowershellCredential, AzureDeveloperCliCredential, and InteractiveBrowserCredential. (#41709)
• Re-enabled VisualStudioCodeCredential - Previously deprecated VisualStudioCodeCredential has been re-implemented to work with the VS Code Azure Resources extension instead of the deprecated Azure Account extension. This requires the azure-identity-broker package to be installed for authentication. (#41822)
  • VisualStudioCodeCredential is now included in the DefaultAzureCredential token chain by default.
• DefaultAzureCredential now supports authentication with the currently signed-in Windows account, provided the azure-identity-broker package is installed. This auth mechanism is added at the end of the DefaultAzureCredential credential chain. (#40335)
