PBIVIZ Install Cert Issue

All, 

 

When I am trying to reinstall the server certificate, I am running into an issue after executing the pbiviz --install-cert command for power bi tools V3.1.6. My issue is after executing the command the passphrase is only displayed for a brief instant and the screen clears before I can copy the numeric value. 

 

Does anyone have a work around to get the passphrase value? Or, is there something I can do to prevent the almost simultaneous clear screen? 

 

Thanks in advance.

I was able to resolve the issue by deleting the existing certificate in the app data folder. I then reinstalled, and the passphrase was not simultaneously cleared, which afforded me the ability to copy and paste.
