I'm also facing the same.

Can anyone please take a look into this issue?

Has anyone found a workaround? I also emailed support@specflow.org but didn't get any response.

@ericlovetocode @ReynoldMiguel @sangeetha504 @josesimas The workaround is available in #2766 (comment).

It worked for me!

Has anyone found a workaround? I also emailed support@specflow.org but didn't get any response.

Fixed the issue by creating an account manually (not via the microsoft button) via this url:
https://account.specflow.org/Identity/Account/Register?returnUrl=%2F

Thanks @sudgarre and @mpgalo!

Just want to document the steps here for anyone who ran into the issue.

1. Register the account via the link https://account.specflow.org/Identity/Account/Register?returnUrl=%2F. You will get a Welcome page when done.
2. Open the NotActivatedYet link when you try to run the test
3. Click Sign in with Microsoft
4. You should get a page with "Welcome to SpecFlow+ Runner!". You can now use SpecFlow+ Runner to run the tests.

I would advised all to not use Specflow+ Runner as its currently not being supported or developed - migrate to MsTest or Nunit
