How to use UsernamePasswordCredential for Azure identity to acquire token which will be used to call MSGraph and sharepoint APIs in asp.net core?

I checked this URL:https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/dotnet/api/azure.identity.usernamepasswordcredential.gettoken?view=azure-dotnet
but I am still looking for more details with example!

@Mohannad Alahdab Do you have the Azure AD login in your application? Do you mean you want to use the user account to access the resource. Or you just want to let your application access the resources directly?

Thanks for your reply,

I have the following scenario, I want to use Azure AD for authentication without App registration and I want to use InteractiveBrowserCredential and UsernamePasswordCredential to open Azure login popup for authentication to acquire a token which I will use to call MS graph and search outlook emails as an example.

As far as I know, without using Azure AD App registration, we couldn't redirect or popup Azure login popup for authentication in your application for client user. So my question is you want to use client user's token to access the MS graph? If this is your requirement, we couldn't do that without App registration.
