How can I access Microsoft Learn Sandbox?

Question

I'm creating a new thread, as indicated in this thread, and I have a HAR file replicating the issue.

For additional info: I've began my Microsoft Learn journey by creating a new, personal Microsoft account, and then have it linked to my current employer's work e-mail. When I got to this exercise, logged to my personal Microsoft account in Microsoft Learn, I click on 'Activate Sandbox', it loads to 100% and it attempts to sign me in, a pop-up shows up, but prompts me the following error when I select my personal account:

Selecting my company account just closes the pop-up and logs me out of Microsoft Learn, and closing the pop-up after the error leads me to the first screen's state. As a work around, I'm using a separate link to Azure Cloud Shell , hope this helps anyone stuck at this same issue.

Hi Ivo de Andrade,

You should be able to work around the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing/accept 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 (The exercise uses PowerShell and Bash. You can switch between them using button at top of cloud shell window)

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.
