WSL authentication stuck

[surgiie]

I havent seen a issue for this bug despite there being a community thread on it for a long time now but :Copilot auth/setup gets stuck when running neovim in WSL on windows,

After verifying device at github.com/login/device, it says successfully verified but copilot auth command is still showing this message:

Press ENTER to open GitHub in your browser
Waiting for <code> at https://github.com/login/device (could take up to 5 seconds)

Many people have suggested various work arounds but none seem to have worked for me and i would rather see a native fix be implemented.
