Announcing Azure Key Vault credentials for desktop flow connections (preview)

We are thrilled to announce the public preview of our new Credential manager, which provides a streamlined way to create and manage credentials with secrets stored in Azure Key Vault.

These credentials can then be used in your desktop flow connections (instead of providing username and password values manually).

RBAC: Credentials can be shared and used without giving access to the secrets themselves.
