About Azure Account
(Deprecated) Azure Account and Sign In
⚠️ Attention extension authors! The Azure Account extension is deprecated (January 2025). If you own an Azure extension that relies on Azure Account, or are creating a new extension that needs authentication to Azure, please see the deprecation announcement for guidance.
The Azure Account extension provides a single Azure sign in and subscription filtering experience for all other Azure extensions. It makes Azure's Cloud Shell service available in VS Code's integrated terminal.
Signing In/Out
There are multiple commands accessible via the command palette that may be used to sign into Azure.
Sign out of Azure using the Azure: Sign Out command.
Azure Cloud Shell
Note: The Azure Cloud Shell feature has moved to the Azure Resources extension. Apart from moving codebases, the feature is the same from a users perspective. Authentication for the Cloud Shell feature is now handled by the VS Code built-in Microsoft authentication provider, which means you may have to login upon first use of the migrated feature.
Azure Cloud Shell instances can be started via the terminal view in VS Code. To begin, click the dropdown arrow in the terminal view and select from either Azure Cloud Shell (Bash) or Azure Cloud Shell (PowerShell).
If this is your first time using the Cloud Shell, the following notification will appear prompting you to set it up.
The Cloud Shell will load in the terminal view once you've finished configuring it.
You may also upload to the Cloud Shell using the Azure: Upload to Cloud Shell command.
