A puffin-burrow census site still hashes passwords in Cosmos DB for municipal staff sign-in. What should the developer do instead for user authentication?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Rolling your own password table in Cosmos is yesterday’s trap. Point staff at Microsoft Entra ID and let the identity platform handle sign-in.
Full Explanation
AZ-204 expects applications to authenticate users with Microsoft Entra ID rather than custom credential stores. The Microsoft identity platform issues tokens after Entra authentication, centralizing password policy, MFA, and directory lifecycle. Cosmos DB remains appropriate for application data, not as a substitute identity provider.
