I know what's going on, they expect the client program to be running a
tiny web server on localhost to collect the credentials, but it
doesn't work.
Check Alpine's instructions at that screen:

process, you will be given an access code or redirected to a web page.
If you see a code, copy it and then press 'C', and enter
the code at the prompt. If you do not see a code, copy the url of the
page you were redirected to and again press 'C' and copy
and paste it into the prompt.
You need to hit 'C' and paste in the token from the localhost URL.
It's not *smooth*, but it works.
