Token encryption cache - exception handling improvements when attempting to decrypt

Related command az account show az account get-access-token

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The core problem is the lack of interoperability of encrypted token caches between different OSes.

Describe the solution you'd like When attempting to access/decrypt an encrypted (MSAL) token cache on an unsupported OS, there should be a very clear message explaining the compatibility, and/or linked to a troubleshooting guide.

I'm not asking for a working encrypted token cache solution in this feature/issue, as there are already enough open issues for that opened (see above). I don't feel that those will be solved any time soon. And even if they will be solved, there will always popup new decryption issues somewhere.

Suggested error message would be something like: Encrypted credentials found but not able to decrypt, this would help a ton, because then i know:

there are actually credentials stored
there is a problem with the credentials in the way i attempt to use them on the OS

Additional context Current error when calling az account get-access-token when the cache is encrypted but accessed from an OS that does not support it:

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:
Unable to import module 'gi'
Runtime dependency of PyGObject is missing.

Current error message when using DefaultAzureCredential when the cache is encrypted but accessed from an OS that does not support it:

Depends on your Linux distro, you could install it system-wide by something like:
    sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-secret-1
If necessary, please refer to PyGObject's doc:

etc...

The message when calling az account show is a 200 response with the account details, where it seems there are no problems. It is questionable that it should return a 200, maybe that should throw an error or at the very least a warning, explicitly noting that there is an issue with the current stored MSAL credentials.
