Microsoft Teams Not Asking for Password
ChristianBergstromWell, meanwhile I tried suggested workaround to start Teams in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8 and so far, it is working well.
See: https://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/msteams/forum/all/teams-fehler-80080300/3a4bcab3-927a-4bd3-b3fc-d275535fb6d8
RunwilburrunHi, I've discovered that this problem is linked to the settings.json file on the cache, so I've made a quick & dirty .bat:
del /Q %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\settings.json
that I launch at every teams exit at the end of my work.
This file (with the login problem inside) is automatically re-created at teams restart
It would be great to know where's ( inside that json) the option that permits the login without the password...
fabianope Just wanted to say thanks; though my issue was slightly different. I logged the user out and created then ran the .bat file, but it was still signing me in. I ended up removing the account this way:
- Go to Windows settings > Accounts >
- Select "Access Work and School" > Select old work account > Click Disconnect
- Sign out and Sign in again. Go to "Email & App account" > Click on old work account and Remove
You may also have to do this in credential manager (I didn't.)
Then, open up Teams and sign in, but when asked to "stay signed in to all your apps" click "No, sign in to this app only."
That made the difference for me.
- It works, but it seems to delete the whole TEAMS cache. So the next login takes a lot of time. And independently on how to set the "allow my organization to manage" checkbox, it register again the login on "Access Work and School", and you have to delete it again and again. Just impossible to use it in many home office scenarios.
- Is it possible to have this setting where ONLY your various previously logged in emails are saved, but any of them chosen on subsequent logins REQUIRE a password entry each time for each particular email account?
Kiedisman I am facing the same issues.
At your first login on an organization, the TEAMs app asks if you allow your organization to manage your device. It does not matter if you check or leave the option unchecked, the behaviour is the same. It register your password in the Word or School Windows' account, and afterwards at every login it does not ask for a password anymore and login automatically.
It is even worse, if you log out on exit, but leave the option to run in background or run after closing the app, a Microsoft login window is throuwn every 5 minutes, which does not inform from what app it comes (I found out it was team by trial and error).
I understand it is convenient to teams in corporations, where only one person uses one computer, to have automatic or "modern" login enabled. But an increasing number of people are now working from home, where sometimes a family member has access to the windows account for some eventual needs. I classify as a bug not having a simple way to require a password, and that may prevent me from recommending TEAMs for many organizations that are now using Google solutions, which have its issues, but are much simpler and transparent in these matters.
ldoderothere is no such option like "Access Work and School" in Win7 system, but the problem with no logout is the same.
