Description

I have to login into AWS Toolkit for every project..

in vscode this isn't the case. this becomes pretty annoying to deal with

So my company has a sso tool we use to login through the command line, which stores credential files in C:/.aws/credentials

also, on my machine (Windows 10), I have a .aws folder in %USERPROFILE%

but aws toolkit in visual studio 2022 and 2022 preview, i'm forced to sign in for every new project. config/credentials are being store in .aws folder at the project level..

Research direction

Reproduce this in Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10 with credentials supplied by the command-line SSO tool in C:/.aws/credentials and %USERPROFILE%\.aws. Compare the project-level .aws behavior with the expected shared credentials behavior; done means new projects reuse the existing credentials without another sign-in.
