Description

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
  • I have searched the FAQ and general documentation and believe that my question is not already covered.

Feature Request

It would be great to bring back the feature from 1.1.15 that prompts users for their username and password when publishing. I understand that this PR intended to fix that functionality but the team believed it needed to be refactored first. I think there are a number of users out there that would prefer to have the option of entering that info in a prompt when publishing instead of storing credentials locally.

Research direction

Review PR #5085 and the current publishing flow to understand why interactive credentials were removed and what refactoring remains. Done should mean users can optionally enter a username and password in a prompt when publishing, without requiring credentials to be stored locally.
