Microsoft Visual Studio Credential Errors on Microsoft Azure Account

Question

I was trying to deploy my web application to Microsoft Azure and as I enter my credentials for my Microsoft account, this error popped up and I'm unable to seek the solution to solve. However, I tried logging in through Microsoft Visual Studio itself and get the same error message as well

[Error In TextForm]

We could not add the account [myemail] user_interaction_required : One of two conditions was encountered: 1. The PromptBehavior.Never flag was passed, but the constraint could not be honored, because user interaction was required. 2. An error occurred during a silent web authentication that prevented the http authentication flow from completing in a short enough time frame

May I know what details I need to check in order to solve the following error?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Remove the existing account from Visual Studio
2. Close Visual Studio
3. Open a developer command prompt
4. Type devenv.exe /resetuserdata
5. Restart Visual Studio
6. Try and enter you credentials

Worked for me.
