Azure workspace opens browser even when using "use-device-code" flag

Question

I'm trying to use the Azure CLI az login to connect to my workspace. I want to use the --use-device-code flag so I can use my secure work laptop to enter the code. The problem is that even when I use this flag, my browser is opened with the Microsoft login screen when I run the Workspace.from_config command (yes the config.json file is in the correct directory). This happens for me both on my Ubuntu and Windows installation. When I try running it interactively through the Azure CLI docker image, it does seem to work however. Is there anyone that could point me in the right direction?

There are different ways to login with azure account by using cli, To not get the Microsoft login screen pop-up you can try the below cmdlt

az login --username azureusername --password azurepassword

Because when we use device code it will ask for entering the code and login as shown here;

az login --use-device-code
To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code ‘DeviceCode’ to authenticate.
