## Microsoft
The Microsoft authentication hasn't been patched so its status is unknown.

## When does it happen?
2023-11-02 11:36:13 +03:00
An account authentication occurs only when an extension is asking for it.
For `GitLens` , since the `12 non-plus` version, it won't ask for any new authentication.
