Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My feature is related to login in. For me logging in has been a nightmare because, as much as I want to use co-pilot, I have never successfully login in to this AI and use it from Spring Tools Suite, my choice IDE for spring boot development.

Describe the solution you'd like
As much as security is important, it should not prevent us from doing our work. Maybe you need to have better instructions, or a video, or there is some problem on my part, (related to connectivity) but in my opinion login in should be a straight forward affair.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by reproducing the login flow in Spring Tools Suite and reviewing the existing Copilot sign-in instructions. Clarify whether the needed change is documentation, a connectivity fix, or an authentication-flow change; done means a user can log in successfully and use Copilot from the IDE.
