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.
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.
