I am attempting :

Day 1: Create SSH Key Pair for Azure Virtual Machine

Password or Username has an issue. Where should I raise this?

~ :heavy_multiplication_x: az login --username kk_lab_user_main-dd74be0c7f4748ef@azurefreekmlprod.onmicrosoft.com

Authentication with username and password in the command line is strongly discouraged. Use one of the recommended authentication methods based on your requirements. For more details, see Sign in with Azure CLI — Login and Authentication | Microsoft Learn
Password:

For this task, you need to log in to the Azure portal (Web UI) and create the ssh key.

Hi Santosh, thanks for responding. I think excitement took over. I thought the task was to use the CLI.
I successfully completed the task via the Azure web Gui.

Cheers
