Answer 1

After searching various other solutions, what did work in the end was installing the "Azure Development Workload" of Visual Studio (using the Visual Studio Installer), then with your project loaded in VS, open "Server Explorer", expand the Azure tab and simply navigate to your web app, right-click and Attach debugger.

Check that you have enabled debugging in Azure for the App.
This bypasses the remote debugging, and its security credentials.

For me, what fixed it, was changing the site URL from http to https.

Then I could attach the debugger:
