Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When authenticating interactively to CDF, users of the Python SDK have to provide more information than they do when using @cognite/cli; base_url and project is sufficient.
Source: https://docs.cognite.com/dev/sdks/cognite-cli/agents
Describe the solution you'd like
Make it easier to authenticate to CDF. Information like tenant ID and client ID is usally not something users know unless someone has provided them with the information
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Start by comparing the Python SDK's interactive authentication flow with the @cognite/cli flow described in the linked Cognite documentation. Identify which inputs are currently required and define completion as allowing interactive CDF authentication with only the information users are expected to know, such as base_url and project.
