azure-identity-python

Chooses and wires up the right azure-identity credential for Python code that talks to Azure — DefaultAzureCredential and its chain order, managed identities, service principals, custom ChainedTokenCredential chains, direct token requests, async clients, and token-cache options — while keeping secrets out of source. Use when the user asks to "set up DefaultAzureCredential", "authenticate a Python app to Azure", "use a managed identity or service principal", "get an access token for the management API", or "fix CredentialUnavailableError". Not for Azure portal or Entra ID tenant administration, and not for other SDK languages.
