vercel login from cli redirecting to blog post, not authenticating

I am trying to login from CLI using version 34.1.1

When I select to login with github (or any option) it gives me a link to follow, but when I open that link in the browser it redirects to this blog post New Vercel CLI login flow - Vercel and leaves the CLI on ‘Waiting for github authentication to be completed’. I am even logged in on vercel on the blog post page.

I’ve tried this with every other sign in option, and the same thing happens. I also tried uninstalling vercel, re-installing it. removing vercel integration from github and re-integrating. all with no changes.

I am doing this on Brave browser, but also tried on google chrome and firefox.
