This is part of the bigger work go/simplified-local-adc

User Credentials are now recommended for local development per go/mitigating-cloud-auth-risk

However, some errors and warnings still refer to service accounts (see section 1.2 of the go/simplified-local-adc):

  1. When user does not have credential setup, we do not recommend setting up service account, rather we redirect to a new ADC setup page.
  2. (if applicable) We show warning about user credentials only if production environment is detected
    Reference Java fix: fix: improve errors and warnings related to ADC google-auth-library-java#1172

Today, we don't offer suggestions in the code suggesting service accounts or not (in docs, comments, or error messages). Here's how the missing ADC message looks like today:

// We failed to find the default credentials. Bail out with an error.
throw new Error(
'Could not load the default credentials. Browse to https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started for more information.'
);

As for the second case:

I'm happy to revert #905 if the telemetry determines this provides a better user experience.

Let me know if anything else, closing for now.
