Hi there. I am a bit concerned, that you sell Application Default Credentials created by using the "gcloud auth application-default login" command as very secure. This stores a JSON key file in a well known location on my drive and lacks strong authentication. All a bad actor needs is the JSON key file. I personally feel very uncomfortable using this.
