Also happened to me. Also had to rollback to 2.62.0

Is there any interim solution for this apart from rollback to older version??

Our team is also currently having this issue. Is there an ETA for a fix?

As a workaround, you may follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-interactively#sign-in-with-web-account-manager-wam-on-windows to turn off WAM:

az account clear
az config set core.enable_broker_on_windows=false
az login

We are still facing the issue in login process of az login and workaround doesn't seems to be working. FYI : login credentials is valid and works fine via azure portal. only problem with az cli

Hi @mchen727 , for the call related to WAM, could you help collect WAM logs described here: https://aka.ms/wamhot and we will be able to investigate further.

@mukeshinit , with the workaround, you disabled WAM and got the issue? Did you do the interactive authentication as instructed? Could you help collect the verbose logs?

Thank you very much.
