We want to authenticate our .net core console application against SharePoint online >> but seems there are 2 ways of doing so either using PnP.Framework.AuthenticationManager or using ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder .. the 2 approaches are mentioned in these links:-

    Hi @john john ,

    It's the same. Both of them depend on MSAL(Microsoft.Identity.Client) for authentication. It is encapsulated in PnP.Framework.AuthenticationManager method.
