 ### Extensions and the Marketplace
 
-According to the VS Code Marketplace [Terms of Use](https://aka.ms/vsmarketplace-ToU), _you may only install and use Marketplace Offerings with Visual Studio Products and Services._ For this reason, VSCodium uses [open-vsx.org](https://open-vsx.org/), an open source registry for VS Code extensions. See the [Extensions + Marketplace](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#extensions-marketplace) section on the Docs page for more details.

+The GitHub authentication has been patched to use personal access token.

+The Microsoft authentication hasn't been patched so its status is unknown.

+## When does it happened?

+An account authentication occurs only when an extension is asking for it.
