I use them to connect and gain access to applications and\/or services that are part of my tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But,  I also have few accounts that belong to the Organizations. I have to work with those, due to specific Governance and Security rules they have in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In essence, the structure of the accounts I use are mainly Work type, and the Personal account I sued to access the Microsoft MVP and MCT resources (Teams Channels) and collaborate with peers. Everything was &#8216;love and happiness&#8217; trough a single, MFA backed up process in the same Teams client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue appeared, few weeks back, when one of the Organizational account I was assigned, was decommissioned. I had been assigned a new account (new domain\/tenant). It happened quickly, almost without notice, the account I already used was obsolete (tenant deleted). This caused some strain on my Teams activities, such has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The old account was always there &#8211; it is close to impossible to remove stale account from Microsoft Teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some times it caused the client to lag (i.e. while joining a Teams call session), or become non-responsive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There were constant reminders (yellow sign with exclamation) that something was wrong with one of the accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, it was a productivity show stopper. But, being busy with projects\/trainings, I kinda postponed the process of removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution (or at least this is what I thought it was)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, I realized that removing an non-existent account is a bigger problem than I originally perceived. For starters, the authentication\/authorization process does not work (Duh!). So none of the usual things work &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/index.php\/2025\/01\/08\/how-to-leave-an-organization-in-microsoft-teams-personal-account\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leaving an organization<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/office\/sign-out-or-remove-an-account-from-microsoft-teams-a6d76e69-e1dd-4bc4-8e5f-04ba48384487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">logging out of the account<\/a>, removing the account, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I realized that the account is almost &#8216;hard coded&#8217; to the client. Login off is not an option (see previous paragraph). I tried The Internet, heck I even tried Copilot, and it all came down to deleting the cache folder in Microsoft Teams on the desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Close the Microsoft Teams desktop application completely<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 35%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2.

I did combine it with the registry editing (removed all mentions of the stale account). The problem I got afterwards was inability to switch between tenants in Microsoft Teams, with my personal account. It just kept going to Teams Personal client, and I could not switch to the Microsoft tenant.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ituziast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/20250210.5-1-236x300.jpg\" alt=\"The image shows a Microsoft account profile menu for a user named Dimitar Grozdanov (Guest).

When accessing Microsoft tenant trough the browser and the mobile app, there was no issue. And then it &#8216;hit&#8217; me &#8211; it is the modern authentication issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If users aren&#8217;t signed in to their Microsoft work or school account anywhere else, when they start Teams, they&#8217;re asked to provide either single-factor or multi-factor authentication (SFA or MFA). Since I purged the cache this information was lost (had to sing to the accounts again), but my Authenticator app was not aware of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution was to perform reset on the device notification. In my case I used Microsoft Authenticator app, so the process is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start the Microsoft Authenticator app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 30%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2.
