Microsoft Learn Can't Access Sandbox

I'm currently working on the exercise for Try Bash. It splits the screen in two, and on the right side it says to sign in. So I sign in with the same credentials I've setup for Learn and it says:

Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application '18fbca16-2224-45f6-85b0-f7bf2b39b3f3' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account.

I tried signing out and back in as well with same error. I used an Incognito window and the error on there said that my email is a personal email and can't be used. I can access the Azure sandbox just fine and the rest of the required sites.

I can access the Azure CLI just fine, but the files etc listed in the Try Bash exercise aren't listed there.

So, are we not allowed to access the tools provided to us on Learn???

    Hi Dakota,

    You should be able to work around the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing permissions, etc.) and then once you see the sign-in box appear on the right open a new browser tab. In this new tab, browse to https://shell.azure.com. If your existing sandbox hasn't expired you can use that instead of activating a new one.

    When prompted, click Bash

    Next choose No storage account required, for Subscription select Concierge Subscription, and click Apply.

    After several seconds delay while a cloud shell is requested and connected to, you should see $ prompt. At this point you can complete the exercises instructions, copy/paste code from exercise tab to cloud shell tab as needed, etc.
