    Hi Ajay,

    This error occurs if the redirect URI (reply URL) configured in the application (code) and the Microsoft Entra app registration don't match.

    To fix the issue following steps will help !

    1. Copy the application ID from the error message
    2. Go to the Azure portal > Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID, select App registrations, locate the application registration by using the application ID, and then open the app registration page.
    3. On the app registration page, select Authentication. In the Platform configurations section, select Add URI to add the redirect URI displayed in the error message to Microsoft Entra ID.
    4. Save the changes and wait three to five minutes for the changes to take effect, and then send the login request again. You should now be able to sign in to the application. If you don't see the Microsoft Entra login page, try clearing the password cache from your browser or use InPrivate browsing.

    Hello ajay,

    Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    I understand that you’re encountering an issue with signing in to Azure Storage Explorer and consider checking the below following factors to resolve the issue.

    1. Check if you have the latest version of Storage Explorer installed. Make sure that you have the latest version of Storage Explorer installed on your machine. You can download the latest version from here
    2. Try clearing the cache in Storage Explorer. You can clear the cache by going to the Help menu and selecting "Clear Cache".
    3. Check that you are using the correct credentials to sign in to Azure Storage Explorer. Make sure that you are using the same credentials that you use to sign in to the Azure portal.
    4. Check that your Azure subscription is active and that you have the proper permissions to access it. You can do this by logging in to the Azure portal and checking the status of your subscription. Refer article

    Additional information: This may happen due to permission issues as mentioned here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=Windows#why-do-i-need-a-management-layer-role-to-see-my-resources-in-storage-explorer "To find your subscriptions and storage accounts, Storage Explorer also needs access to the management layer. If you don't have a role that grants any management layer permissions, Storage Explorer can't get the information it needs to connect to the data layer." There are several Azure built-in roles that can provide the permissions needed to use Storage Explorer- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=Windows#recommended-azure-built-in-roles You specifically may need the reader role to list storage accounts- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=Windows#read-listget-storage-accounts-permissions-issue

    For more information refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vs-azure-tools-storage-manage-with-storage-explorer?tabs=windows, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/azure-storage/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=Windows#error-self-signed-certificate-in-certificate-chain-and-similar-errors
