I can confirm this bug.

This bug can be reproduced on other WSL distros as well, it is not isolated to WLinux.

Adding Azure extensions to VS Code, then logging in by OAUTH2 via microsoft.com/devicelogin does not appear to 'stick'. Code says 'waiting for Azure login', and then reverts to options to Sign in or Create an account.

Because it is not isolated to WLinux, I recommend opening a bug report with the upstream project.

I came across one issue that suggested installing gnome-keyring. That did not fix it for me.

I am closing this issue here, for now, and have opened an issue with Azure.

If it is later determined to be an issue with WLinux I will of course re-open and address.

Thank you for this report.

A note for anyone that comes across this. This is a problem in every distro really. You do need to install gnome-keyring and then run these lines when opening an app that requires keyring access, I just put them in my .zshrc at the bottom:

eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax);
eval $(echo -n "" | /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --login);
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --components=secrets --start);

it will notify you if you are missing any other required packages.

Shutdown your distro and start it back up, open vscode and you should be able to login to Azure, Github, etc.
