What's Wrong?

During /login when pasting the online generated code back to the terminal (here: Powershell), the prompt changes to "..." but it did not continue (which has been the expectation). I'm using version 2.1.185.

What Should Happen?

I found it to be just missing an enter keystroke. To help others in this case one could change the prompt to something like: "Paste code here if prompted and press Enter". This is my simple suggestion.
