Is it possible to abandon PAT authentication?

Hi,

Thanks for the great app! Is it possible that you will move away from PAT authentication to a more secure/standard approach using for example MSOL? Accepting that kind of consent in a corporate environment is hard:

The tool is making use of the API only as far as I can see. So there is no MSOL, only API compatible PAT authentication. But that’s only a guess.

Hi,

Yes we're only using the rest API documented here.

Hi @mbkk-1, @JamborJan ,

Thanks for bringing this up! 🚀 Currently, the app supports both PAT authentication and Microsoft login, but we understand that some corporate environments may prefer alternative authentication methods like MSOL.

If moving away from PAT authentication is something you'd like to help develop, we’d love collaboration from users who need this feature. Since this would require changes at multiple levels, having contributors who can test and validate the implementation would be extremely helpful.

If you're interested in working with us on this, feel free to reach out at [email protected] or open a discussion here on GitHub so we can explore the best approach together.

Let's build this together! 💡🚀
