How to consume an azure devops API without PAT

Hi, I'm able to programmatically (C#) call an azure devops API to get all the area paths in my organization. I'm using a PAT that I created.
However, this PAT will expiry and don't want to generate new ones every time they expire, even though it can be every year maximum.

So, my question is, how else can I authenticate said API other than using a PAT? (Wish there were non-expiring PATs).

Thanks in advance for the help.
