Description

`az login` says that you are preparing to switch to WAM (Web Authentication Manager). The message says "To help us collect feedback on the new login experience, you may opt-in to use WAM by running the following commands", which indicates that you want feedback. At the same time, you don't say where, so I chose this channel.

My feedback: WAM does not seem to integrate with my password manager. This creates a *much* more annoying workflow: The WAM-window opens, i select the username, I have to switch to a browser, open the password manager, copy the password, return to the WAM-window, paste the password, submit the login, switch to my command line.

The corresponding browser-login is much simpler: The browser opens, I select the username, password is automatically filled, I submit, and switch to the command line.

So, for me, the important command is `az config set core.allow_broker=false`, which I hope will remain operational.
