 # Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Python
 
-The Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Python offers secure mechanisms for client applications to perform cross-platform token cache serialization and persistence.

+The Microsoft Authentication Extensions for Python offers secure mechanisms for client applications to perform cross-platform token cache serialization and persistence. It gives additional support to the [Microsoft Authentication Library for Python (MSAL)](https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python).
 
 MSAL Python supports an in-memory cache by default and provides the [SerializableTokenCache](https://msal-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#msal.SerializableTokenCache) to perform cache serialization. You can read more about this in the MSAL Python [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/msal-python-token-cache-serialization). Developers are required to implement their own cache persistance across multiple platforms and Microsoft Authentication Extensions makes this simpler.
 
-The supported platforms are Windows, Mac and Linux.

 - Windows - [DPAPI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/security/how-to-use-data-protection) is used for encryption.

 ## Usage
 
-The Microsoft Authentication Extensions library provides the `PersistedTokenCache` which accepts a platform-dependent persistence instance. This token cache can then be used to instantiate the `PublicClientApplication` in MSAL Python.

+The Microsoft Authentication Extensions library provides the `PersistedTokenCache` which accepts a platform-dependent persistence instance. This token cache can then be used to instantiate the `PublicClientApplication` in MSAL Python.
 
 The token cache includes a file lock, and auto-reload behavior under the hood.
