Can't connect to Azure Devops using Eclipse plugin - eclipse

I'm using eclipse 2019, and I'm trying to integrate it with my company's Azure DevOps, or rather one specific project/repo in that.
After some quick googling, I found a tutorial (which I followed) that involved installing some software through eclipse for Team Explorer Everywhere, a plugin that supposedly performs this automation. However, after installing said plugin and attempting to connect to my company's Devops project, I get stuck in an authentication loop. More specifically, once I point it to the project's url from Azure Devops and give it the correct credentials, Eclipse asks me to click a link and paste a code it gives me into a field in that link once I sign in on the web. I do this, and the website tells me that authentication has been successful and that I should close the browser window. So, I do that. Then I hit "OK" in Eclipse, and the popup I've been in closes.
Now, this is where one might THINK that I would be connected to the Azure repo, but instead when the popup closes it just brings me back to the part where it asks me for a project url, with no changes having been made. I can complete these steps ad infinitum with no difference.
I've tried reinstalling the plugin, using a few different versions of eclipse (like Neon), and several different source urls.
I'd love to share any error messages, but I get nothing. It just blankly returns to the start of the process. The end result I'm looking for is for my Azure repo and and an Eclipse project to be synced.

VSCode - Shows Deploy to Function App, instead of Deploy to Web App for blazor (ASP.Net) webapp

VSCode sees my Blazor server app as an Azure Function. Right-clicking on my publish folder I only have the option to Deploy to Function App, instead of Deploy to Web App which logically shows me only my function apps from azure. How is this determined by VSCode? I have checked the project file, but I do not see anything obvious wrong.
I tried Googling this, but the search terms only brings me to tutorials where this problem does not exist.
I was missing the Azure Web App extension. Once that was installed, the option appeared

Device Login Page is not coming when entering TFS (Team Foundation Server) URL in Eclipse

I am trying to set up my Eclipse with my TFS Project (Team Explorer Everywhere). I am following the below documentation:
https://azuredevopslabs.com/labs/java/eclipsegit/
I am able to install the TFS Plugin. But as per the Step 10 in the documentation, I am not able to get the Device Login window post entering the TFS URL. After clicking on OK, the next expected window is not getting populated. The URL is correct as I am able to access the same through the browser. I have also tried by entering my credentials but still no luck. Can anyone help or suggest if I am missing anything.
If the Device Login windows does not pop up normally, it could be an issue with the plugin.
You can try to uninstall the TFS plugin and install TFS 14.135.0 to solve the problem.

Eclipse with TFS plugin - endless login loop

I have a problem in eclipse with the tfs plugin. I try to login and it stuck in some kind of login loop.
I looked here and in google. Nothing help.
I found this posts:

I tried to clean cookies and password and everything possible in IE
I reinstalled the plugin. I updated everything possible, checked for eclipse indigo last version (3.2.7)
Nothing worked. Anyone can help me?
The forum posts you referenced are about the Team Foundation Service, not the on-premise server. Since the service uses Microsoft Accounts (previously known as Live Id's) it depends on cookies in your browser.
The on-premise version of Team Foundation Server uses your domain account which isn't stored as a cookie, but which is stored in the Windows Credentials Vault by default for Windows processes. Try going through the stored credentials to make sure your username/password or TFS server isn't mentioned there. If it is, either update it or remove it.
Can you verify whether the same account settings are correctly picked up by Visual Studio/Team Explorer (if you have it installed on the same machine)? Eclipse and Team Explorer should use the same credential vault.

Eclipse with TFS plugin - looping login

few days ago (without installing anything new as far as I know) my Eclipse environment started looping authentiacation action when loging to Team Foundation Services. Everytime I want to explore, checkin and so on I see dialog "connecting to server" then dialog loading indentity providers appears and after it white blank screen and all repeats again and again.
I tried to find if I can reset stored password but there is no one in Credentials Manager in Windows (related to TFS address).
I tried update Eclipse plugins (ADT, TFS plugin) to latest version - same behavior.
Any suggestions or same experience
Kind Regards Jindrich Polenius Brezina
I'm afraid that the authentication mechanism got broken during a recent upgrade of the service. It was fixed quickly, but due to the fact that you were unlucky enough to attempt to log-in while it broken I'm afraid that you are going to need to close Eclipse, delete all your cookies in internet explorer, close IE, open Eclipse and attempt to log in again. Very sorry about that.
