I'm taking the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Describe Azure architecture and services learning path. On the module "Describe the core architectural components of Azure" when I get to the step "Exercise - Explore the Learn sandbox" I keep receiving an error when trying to verify my email and create the sandbox. I even went in and generated a new Outlook alias for my Microsoft account to see if that would help, but I'm receiving the same error.

Hello, @Kat D !
Why am I unable to sign in when attempting to use the sandbox?
There is a known issue that the sandbox team is trying to fix which is being tracked here:
If you are able to provide more detailed reproduction steps (verified permission, sandbox clock started, sandbox count changed, used a Hotmail email address, etc.) I'll add that to the report. This has been a challenge for the sandbox team but hopefully they'll be able to get a fix for this soon.
