Trying to create remote for a work sharepoint account sends me to the wrong Microsoft website

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

This is my first time trying to use rclone. I'm trying to create a new onedrive/sharepoint remote to sync my work files. When I follow the steps, a browser window opens with the following url
Microsoft account...

But my OneDrive account is not accessible from that website.
I normally enter my OneDrive account by going to the following url:
https://login.microsoftonline.com
which redirects me to a very long url that your system is not allowing me to write here because I am a new user.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.36

No, I am using the version available in ubuntu 18.04.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Microsoft OneDrive/Sharepoint

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone config -vv

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

I don't have any config, this is the first time I'm using rclone. 

A log from the command with the -vv flag

rclone config -vv
