Connect to SharePoint using username and password via MSAL ROPC flow.

This is the modern replacement for the legacy SAML-based user authentication. Uses the OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials grant.

Prerequisites: - An app registered in Azure AD - Grant the app appropriate SharePoint permissions - The app must support public client flows (allow public client in manifest)
