Update the python path in PowerShell as mentioned in GitHub issue:

$ENV:PYTHONPATH = "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Azure\\CLI2"

Remove the extension serviceconnector-passwordless and then add it again.

Run below commands:

az upgrade
az extension remove --name serviceconnector-passwordless
az extension add --name serviceconnector-passwordless --upgrade

Able to install and add the serviceconnector-passwordless connector.

C:\Users\uname>az extension add --name serviceconnector-passwordless --upgrade

Default enabled including preview versions for extension installation now. Disabled in future release. Use '--allow-preview true' to enable it specifically if needed. Use '--allow-preview false' to install stable version only.
