Client secret of a Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) application registration, used by a service principal to obtain tokens. Microsoft Purview describes the secret as up to 40 letters, digits and the characters - _ . ~. Secrets generated in the current format carry the marker Q~ after four characters; the regexp follows the gitleaks rule for this format and does not match older secrets.
