-#### Authenticate via Visual Studio Code
-
-Developers using Visual Studio Code can use the [Azure Account extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.azure-account) to authenticate via the editor. Apps using `VisualStudioCodeCredential` can then use this account to authenticate calls in their app when running locally.
-
-To authenticate in Visual Studio Code, ensure the Azure Account extension is installed. Once installed, open the **Command Palette** and run the **Azure: Sign In** command.

-Additionally, use the [`@azure/identity-vscode`](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/tree/main/sdk/identity/identity-vscode) plugin package. This package provides the dependencies of `VisualStudioCodeCredential` and enables it. See [Plugins](##plugins).

-It's a [known issue](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/issues/20500) that `VisualStudioCodeCredential` doesn't work with [Azure Account extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.azure-account) versions newer than **0.9.11**. A long-term fix to this problem is in progress. In the meantime, consider [authenticating via the Azure CLI](#authenticating-via-the-azure-cli).

It's necessary to [create an Azure App Registration](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity-platform/scenario-spa-app-registration) in the Azure portal for your web application first.
