Login fails when the service principal key starts with '-'

See original GitHub issue

When the service principal secret starts with -, a known bug in the az cli is triggered, and the login action fails with:

Error: : argument --password/-p: expected one argument

The workaround is to use the -p=<the_secret> syntax instead of -p <the_secret>.

I see there’s actually already an open PR that would fix this.
