I'm sorry that the product wasn't easier to use, and that it wasted so much of your time. For anyone else running into this, we do have docs up about how to access authenticated submodules: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repo... (that shows how to do it against another Azure Repos instance, but a variation will work for any Git provider with a PAT-style bearer token)
