Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)
Solution 1:
Found this article which has allowed me to revert back to browser-based login from Windows Command Prompt, but not from Powershell (see Dilan Perera answer). Indeed, have been experiencing the Powershell window locking up completely when trying to az login - not sure if there are modal windows open elsewhere that I cannot access? Could do without this grief when working with the CLI!
