issues with temporary account in assessment

The temporary github account provided by the assessment has an unverified email address. The verification email is not available through Open Emails, so GitHub disables the VS Code authorization button. Please reset or replace the lab account and assesment attempt.

I have attempted 3 times and I am not able to clone a repo into VS Code due to that button. Not sure if the temporary account has an issue.
the assessment is: Microsoft Applied Skills: Accelerate AI-assisted development by using GitHub Copilot
