Description

Feature description

When using GCM_MSAUTH_USEDEFAULTACCOUNT, it still asks for (UI-based) confirmation for the account used. How can i set a flag to bypass this confirmation and directly use the default account (what i assumed does this flag in the first place)?

Research direction

Start by tracing where GCM_MSAUTH_USEDEFAULTACCOUNT is read and where the account-confirmation UI is triggered. Confirm the intended behavior with the authentication flow and existing tests; done means the default account is used without an interactive confirmation when this flag is enabled.
