Device Flow authentication when using PAT

[hintbw]

I assumed that when setting up the environment variable with my PAT in it, that no authentication would be required (it would just use the PAT). Every time I try to register the repository through the instructions though, I get the following message:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Register-AzureArtifactsPSRepository -FeedUrl $repository -Repository "feedname"
[Minimal] [CredentialProvider]DeviceFlow: https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/orgname/_packaging/feedname/nuget/v2
[Minimal] [CredentialProvider]To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code A9TL6U3EZ to authenticate.

I can go ahead with that, but the instructions don't mention anything about this flow. I'm also wondering if it is the necessary new authentication (which is admittedly strange considering I have a valid PAT in a user environment variable)

Here is what I see with verbose on:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Register-AzureArtifactsPSRepository -FeedUrl $repository -Repository "<feedreponame" -Verbose

You still need to pass the credentials to the Register-AzureArtifactsPSRepository call

[System.Security.SecureString] $securePersonalAccessToken = 'YourPatGoesHere' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
[PSCredential] $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential 'Username@DoesNotMatter.com', $securePersonalAccessToken
[string] $feedUrl = 'https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/YourOrganization/_packaging/YourFeed/nuget/v2'
[string] $repository = Register-AzureArtifactsPSRepository -Credential $credential -FeedUrl $feedUrl
