MicrosoftSqlToolsServiceLayer wants to use your confidential information

Question

I am receiving the following notification every time I open VSCode. Is there any reason to be concerned?

Answer 1

According to this comment (posted Nov. 17, 2021) on this issue of the vscode-mssql extension, updating to 1.11.1 should address this issue:

The 1.11.1 release we published today should no longer have a keystore prompt on vscode startup. Please let us know if this is not the case in your environment. Thanks!
