Azure DevOps will no longer support Alternate Credentials authentication
We, the Azure DevOps team, work hard to ensure that your code is protected while enabling you to have friction free access. Until now, we’ve offered customers the ability to use Alternate Credentials in situations where they are connecting to Azure DevOps using legacy tools. While using Alternate Credentials was an easy way to set up authentication access to Azure DevOps, it is also less secure than other alternatives such as personal access tokens (PATs). As such, we believe the use of Alternate Credentials authentication represents a security risk to our customers because they never expire and can’t be scoped to limit access to the Azure DevOps data.
