[Feature request] az login with cookie or bearer token

Related command

We need them:

az login --cookies "xxx=xxx; xxx=xxx; xxx=xxx;"
az login --auth-header "bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently our organization requires az login multiple times EVERY DAY, and we must use az login --use-device-code and copy-paste code into customized browser for auth.

I have been doing authentication again and again, day and day, month after month, I'm so tired.

WHY NOT SIMPLY ACCEPT auth-header or cookie, so we have freedom to extract things from browser directly?

Describe the solution you'd like

az login --cookies "xxx=xxx; xxx=xxx; xxx=xxx;"
az login --auth-header "bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Describe alternatives you've considered

Do az login --use-device-code again and again, day and day, month after month, I'm so tired.

I have a dirty tampermonkey script to make it easier, but still pissed off after doing such boring work for years.

Additional context

I'M SO TIRED.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Azure REST API uses OAuth2 for authentication, so cookies are not supported.

As for accepting bearer tokens, this is tracked by #16459. The bearer token usually expires after 1 hour. You have to log in again after it expires.

Got it.. Thanks for your information.

If you want to get rid of logging in again and again, it is best to leverage a service principal: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-service-principal
