Troubleshoot login problems in Azure WSL

September 23, 2026 Posted by Alexander Axberg

-Browser login window is not popping up

Run this in linux WSL to set a variable path to the browser:
export BROWSER=”/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe”

-Login is successful but MFA has expired: Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access xyz

Clear the caches:
rm -rf .azure/ 
wsl –shutdown
Clear browser cache

If this still not helps, also do a MFA reset in Entra.
