+### Interactive login (local development)
+
+For local development you can sign in through the browser instead of managing a service
+principal secret. Set `authType` to `interactive` on an environment — only `url` is required
+(no `clientId` / `clientSecret`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "defaultEnvironment": "dev",
+  "environments": [
+    {
+      "name": "dev",
+      "url": "https://your-org.crm4.dynamics.com",
+      "authType": "interactive"
+    }
+  ],
+  "publisherPrefix": "yourprefix"
+}
+```
+
+Or enable it per command with `--interactive-auth`, which overrides the config `authType`:
+
+```bash
+dvx plugin sync --interactive-auth \
+  --url https://your-org.crm4.dynamics.com \
+  --project ./src/MyPlugin/MyPlugin.csproj
+```
+
+The first command opens your default browser to sign in. dvx uses a built-in public client, so
+**no app registration is required**. The sign-in is cached securely on your machine, so subsequent
+commands reuse it without prompting again until it expires.
+
+> **Local use only.** Interactive login is meant for developers running dvx on their own machine.
+> For unattended / CI-CD runs, use a service principal (`clientSecret` — the default `authType`).
