Which extensions are you trying to use with Azure Account? Most Azure extensions have moved off of Azure Account for authentication, and moved to the built-in VS Code Microsoft authentication provider. The Azure Account extension will be deprecated soon. If you're able, uninstall the Azure Account extension.

If you can, try out the new command you can access from the Azure Resources view:

• Read here for more info on the move from Azure Account
• And read here about the deprecation: Azure Account extension will be deprecated in January 2025 #964

Probably far too late to be of help to @Marika-Zimante , but I came across this thread from a search.

This is a problem related to the Business Central AL extension inside VSCode, not a Azure auth issue.

What's happening is that the AL Extension is trying to do the "Device Login" flow and pops a Notification for the user to copy the Device Login Code, then authorize the app.

But, if you've hidden that Notification, it appears to just hang, eventually timing out. To resolve this issue, in the Notification 🔔 in the very bottom right corner of VSC, "Turn On" the device login notifications again.

@JeremyVyska Hi Jeremy, thanks for the additional info, that's really helpful. I'd like to learn more about the extension. Does it depend on the Azure Account extension? If so, please make sure you read #964 because Azure Account is being deprecated at the end of 2024!

Likely it does not, no, as it's from the Microsoft team themselves, but the source code of the extension in question is not public AFAIK, so maybe. I can ask the platform team over at https://github.com/Microsoft/AL

It's the vital tooling component for development for one of the Microsoft Business ecosystem's flagship Cloud offering for Small/Medium Businesses. It allows developers to edit/build/publish AL code. AL code, when put into the Business Central engine, is transpiled into C# for the back end, as well as the syntax for the front-end rendering. All this for an "ERP" system, a lovely combination of things for Accounting, Inventory, Warehousing, and a few more.
