Description

On the page

https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension

Is a description of how to get a global Personal Access Token (PAT) to publish an extension.

On 2026-12-01 all global PATs will be removed

Most likely the new method is already possible but the documentation is not updated.

What kind of PAT do I need to use to not be hit by the 1 december deadline and be able to update an extension.
