Class DeviceCodeCredential

Creates an instance of DeviceCodeCredential with the details needed to initiate the device code authorization flow with Microsoft Entra ID.

A message will be logged, giving users a code that they can use to authenticate once they go to https://microsoft.com/devicelogin

Developers can configure how this message is shown by passing a custom userPromptCallback:

import { DeviceCodeCredential } from "@azure/identity";

const credential = new DeviceCodeCredential({
  tenantId: process.env.AZURE_TENANT_ID,
  clientId: process.env.AZURE_CLIENT_ID,
  userPromptCallback: (info) => {
    console.log("CUSTOMIZED PROMPT CALLBACK", info.message);
  },
});
