per https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/reducing-pat-usage-across-azure-devops/ AzDO PAT is falling out of favour and they are suggesting leveraging Entra ID access tokens. This would be preferred in my org as the entra id auth tech keeps getting more security features that our InfoSec and platform teams really appreciate.
FWIW i'd suspect it be best if this plugin then stored a refresh token similar to how it stores the PAT today....
fwiw it's unclear to me if setting NUGET_CREDENTIALPROVIDER_VSTS_TOKENTYPE to SelfDescribing uses entra id tokens...i'm pretty sure they do not given the 4 hour span note...and i vaguely remember AzDO offering it's own jwt based access token at one point. if i'm wrong and that's the switch then this request may be about changing that default in 2.x
