Description

Describe the feature you'd like

I've been doing Unity development with VSCode, so I installed the Unity extension, which depends on this extension.
code-editing features seem to work well (e.g. intellisense, hovering on elements..), but this extension keeps prompting me to log-in a Microsoft account.
I'd like a way to bypass that, to be able to use the extension without logging-in

Research direction

The issue identifies no source files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the extension's Microsoft-account login flow. Define how the Unity and VS Code extension should behave without login, and consider the work complete when code-editing features can be used without repeated sign-in prompts.
