I'm having trouble logging into the sandbox

Question

I'm working on the Describe the core architectural components of Azure training module and I'm trying to log into the sandbox portion of the module. When I tried to log into my account using the popup it showed an error. I'm no longer able to recreate the error and it simply doesn't log me in.

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Hi Jonathan,

Below workaround is for the earlier Explore the Learn sandbox exercise, but should work as well for the Create an Azure resource exercise (for this you use Azure portal instead). Please give it a try and let me know your results in a comment.

You should be able to work around the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing/accepting 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.

Thanks.
