 ## Authenticate to Azure and authorize access to blob data
 
-[!INCLUDE [storage-quickstart-passwordless-auth-intro](../../../includes/storage-quickstart-passwordless-auth-intro.md)]
+Application requests to Azure Blob Storage must be authorized. Using `DefaultAzureCredential` and the Azure Identity client library is the recommended approach for implementing passwordless connections to Azure services in your code, including Blob Storage.
 
-`DefaultAzureCredential` is a class provided by the Azure Identity client library for Go. `DefaultAzureCredential` supports multiple authentication methods and determines which method to use at runtime. This approach enables your app to use different authentication methods in different environments (local vs. production) without implementing environment-specific code.
+You can also authorize requests to Azure Blob Storage by using the account access key. However, this approach should be used with caution. Developers must be diligent to never expose the access key in an unsecure location. Anyone who has the access key is able to authorize requests against the storage account, and effectively has access to all the data. `DefaultAzureCredential` offers improved management and security benefits over the account key to allow passwordless authentication. Both options are demonstrated in the following example.
