The documentation refers to /etc/logins.def but the file is /etc/login.defs on a brand new install of 24.04 desktop. Also, it says to configure the registered app like the photo: But we don't know what to put for the reply URL.

Thanks for your report.

I fixed the position of the 's' in login.defs and we will have a look at the second issue.

Regarding your second question about the redirect url, we are using the OAuth 2.0 device code flow and a redirect URI is not needed. You can read more about redirect URI in Microsoft documentation.

However, you have a good point, we'll update the screenshot to not show any redirect URI.

The picture shows it's there and the instructions imply you should match the picture. It should probably be updated.
