Azure command line Identity and Authentication
summary
Azure client tools now show a new interactive login preview that lists tenants and subscriptions, caches them to a local JSON, marks a default with a star, and lets a user pick by line number; the same flow aims for a consistent Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell experience and targets GA on May 21. Authentication moves toward WAM on Windows, managed identities and OIDC for CI, and the team is deprecating a login --username --password for security; demos show the flow working but preview installs still require feedback.
