Desktop credentials are broken!

I support multiple orgs. I used to be able to launch desktop then sign in with the needed credentials when publishing.

Now, cedentials are not remembered, and i am prompted for credentials (often multiple times!) on startup! Why not at least remember the account that the model was built with????? 

Happy to supply a password when publishing, but FFS its getting beynd a joke!!! Does the PBI/Fabric team want to activly reduce the userbase?

    thank you... it has been driving me nuts! It is compounded by the fact that I am a consultant and work for multiple organisations and have multiople of M365 credentials.... And Windows 11 will not let me save more than 5 sets of credentials..... argghhh. [end of rant]
