Summary

Reorganized authentication types to emphasize security hierarchy, prioritized Azure AD App-Only as the preferred method, and updated IdP reference to Microsoft Entra ID.

Security assessment

The changes improve security documentation by explicitly ranking authentication methods by security level and promoting more secure options. However, this appears to be routine guidance improvement rather than addressing a specific security incident.
