Microsoft Teams Not Asking for Password
- Oct 07, 2020
ChristianBergstromWell, meanwhile I tried suggested workaround to start Teams in Compatibility Mode for Windows 8 and so far, it is working well.
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.

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.
