@amazingdragi To use AzCopy with a user-assigned managed identity, you need to set the AZCOPY_AUTO_LOGIN_TYPE environment variable to MSI. You can then run AzCopy without logging in by using the azcopy copy command. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Assign a user-assigned managed identity to your VM or Azure resource.
  2. Grant the managed identity the necessary permissions to access your storage account.
  3. Set the AZCOPY_AUTO_LOGIN_TYPE environment variable to MSI.
  4. Run the azcopy copy command.

Regarding your second question, azcopy login is not deprecated. It is still a valid command to use for logging in to Azure AD. However, if you want to use a managed identity instead of a login, you can set the AZCOPY_AUTO_LOGIN_TYPE environment variable to MSI.
