It should be noted inline with the InteractiveBrowserCredential that it is not actually enabled by default.

Proposed text:

Hi @christothes @Cpcrook – wanted to follow up on this.

I agree with @Cpcrook that addressing it in the Remarks section probably doesn’t go quite as far as we want to in this case. Someone could read the documentation, see “these credential types are tried”, and easily hit a “gotcha” scenario unless they happen to read all the way through to the Remarks.

I think a small piece of text like @Cpcrook suggests is warranted to call out the potential issue and save time/frustration without requiring a heavy lift on the part of the Docs.

Since I thought it would be helpful, I created https://github.com/Azure/azure-docs-sdk-dotnet/pull/2083 to attempt to put it into action.
