Visual Studio 2017 – How to fix error: We could not refresh the credentials for the account

by

This bug will be fixed in a future version.

For now:

  • Close down VS2017
  • Go to “C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\.IdentityService”
  • Rename “IdentityServiceAdalCache.cache” as shown below. (for example just add an underscore to it)
  • Restart VS2017 and log in.
    changing identityservice wile name

NOTE: There are similar issues that this won’t resolve, but this worked for me.
