The Invalid selection. warning should be shown in the next line, not the same line as Select a subscription and tenant (Type a number or Enter for no changes):. I doubt there is some issue with the terminal, making Azure CLI receiving invalid characters.

1. Could you share the result of az --version?
2. Are you using Azure CLI in WSL?

Hi @jiasli

My customer encounter the same experience, when it first ask for user to choose subscription, no matter user type Enter directly to choose default choice or enter a number to choose a subscription, command will return "invalid selection", and then if entering the same choice it works. Here is a screenshot about choose default but receive invalid selection.

In my scenario, user is using an Azure Linux VM running AZ CLI, and customer first report the issue when using AZCLI 2.71.0, then they upgrade to 2.79.0, issue still occurs. And User is using Bastion to connect to Azure VM.

[jiasli]

I am not able to repro in Bastion either:

@kagoesy, could you verify if the same issue happens when using SSH to connect to the Azure VM and call az login?

Meanwhile, you may follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-interactively?view=azure-cli-latest#subscription-selector to disable the subscription selector:

az config set core.login_experience_v2=off

[jiasli]

To further know what character Azure CLI receives, please edit the below file with

sudo nano --linenumbers /opt/az/lib/python3.13/site-packages/azure/cli/command_modules/profile/_subscription_selector.py

At line 78, add

            print(repr(select_index))

Then reproduce this issue. The output will show what character Azure CLI receives.

Hi @jiasli , Here is the screenshot

Looks the device login url has become the input for some reason

[jiasli]

I changed L87 to print the input text:

logger.warning("Invalid selection: %s", select_index)

The only possibility I can think of is that you right clicked the text and the text got pasted to the terminal.

In Bastion, you don't need to right click to copy text. Simply selecting the text and it will be copied to the clipboard.

Could you share a screenshot which contains the output before [Tenant and subscription selection]?
