Similar to #6293, I've noticed that this task has been open for ~3 years, so I wonder what is the known "workaround" to use an interactive credential with async clients e.g. AsyncDataLakeServiceClient? Is there a way to acquire token using sync interactive credential class and pass it to (e.g.) AsyncDataLakeServiceClient? Or perhaps a completely other way?

Thanks for asking.

A simple workaround is you can implement an async interactive credential class and in

async def get_token(self, *scopes: str, **kwargs: "Any") -> "AccessToken":

method, you call the sync one and return the token.

Please let us know if it doesn't work.

thank you @xiangyan99 ! indeed, this workaround worked very well.

Shall such an implementation be submitted to the package? I'm happy to open a PR. Wouldn't even a minimal class implementing this be of help? or are there concerns?

Thanks for the suggestion.

We decide not to ship the workaround in our package because we don't want to lie to our customers. :)

I will have a gist snippet to demo the workaround.
