Connecting to TFS

Windows Authentication can be used to connect to a Team Foundation Server. This uses the current user which is logged on to Windows and uses the windows credentials to authenticate the user.

Connecting to VSTS

Various authentication methods can be used to connect to Visual Studio Team Services (Visual Studio Online). When using these authentication methods, the Path can be set as empty with Port set to 0.

Alternate Authentication can be enabled inside the Security settings for your Visual Studio account. This enables the account to have a manageable separate username and password.
