Cannot sign in - Error: Unable to parse decrypted password

Type: Bug

When attempting to sign in with my Microsoft account, after auth completes, VSCode requests to sign in again - the following is shown in the Microsoft Authentication Log:

Not sure what else to add.

Sorry, I didn’t pick up on the error change! Was head deep in debugging a Durandal and Knockout problem.

So, the laptop, which is where I ran the commends and pasted the latest output, despite multiple attempts last night, decided today that it was going to sign in first try after a fresh launch; output from credman:

I’m about to try on my desktop, which is where I logged this issue from originally.

1.73 was just released. Can you try the update and let me know how it goes?
