The Azure PowerShell team is listening, please let us know how we are doing: https://aka.ms/azpssurvey?Q_CHL=ERROR.

[dingmeng-xue]

Thanks for reporting. We have fixed couple issue in Az.Accounts for authentication. Please try the latest version of Az.Accounts 2.2.8 and try Connect-AzAccount again after restart powershell.

Issue is still present, any assistance would be appreciated

[dingmeng-xue]

It seems your environment has special setting. Please reference #13691 . The similar issue is not resolved yet. I have created an issue to MSAL https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-dotnet/issues/2594.

Please watch it and add additional information if required.

[bgavrilMS]

@Atavuli - are you using a regular (non-virtual) Win10 machine? Does this happen if you start in non-admin mode? Does this happen on some machines but not others?

[casperhartfrae]

I have a similar issue with Powershell 5.1, Az module version 2.28, on windows 10 whether running as either administrator or user.

The only way I've managed to get it to work is by using Powershell ISE. From ISE a login screen pops up when the command is executed and I can authenticate without issue. From the standard Powershell console (same version, 5.1) I get:

❯ Connect-AzAccount -TenantId $tenant
WARNING: Please run 'Connect-AzAccount -DeviceCode' if browser is not supported in this session.
Connect-AzAccount : InteractiveBrowserCredential authentication failed: Persistence check failed. Inspect inner exception for
details
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-AzAccount -TenantId $tenant
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [Connect-AzAccount], AuthenticationFailedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Profile.ConnectAzureRmAccountCommand

The -DeviceCode or -UseDeviceAuthentication flags don't work either. Only ISE has worked, and it took me a long time to figure that one out. This started happening a couple of weeks ago, and was working fine prior to that.

[ShrutiMishra871]

I am still facing this issue, tried all the suggestions given on every portal, nothing helps. If anybody fixed this, please advise.

[pablocarli]

I was able to connect using the "Windows PowerShell ISE" interface...don't know what is the difference in the authentication process
