    @Naveen KB Nagaraju ,

    I struggled with the same issue for a couple of days and here is what I did to fix the issue;

    1. Close all PS sessions.
    2. Navigate to C:\Users\<User Name>\ .Azure
    3. Rename "AzureRmContext.json" to AzureRmContextOld
    4. Open a new session.

    The above steps fixed my issue, hope that works for you too.

    Regards
    Hari

    None of the recommendations fixed our issue but we were able to resolve it ourselves. We ran the debug and found it was due to TLS issue. Azure AD is no longer supporting TLS1.0 on clients, issue was resolved after we enabled TLS 1.2 for webhttp.

    The fix is here (at least for us).

    using the option -UseDeviceAuthentication didn't work for me and neither deleting the AzureRmContext.json

    The only way to login again, was running Clear-AzContext (which I guess cleared completely the cache from previous tokens) and then again Connect-AzAccount
