Description

I get easily more than 20 Git Credential Manager windows per machine per day ("Do you want to continue with the current account?"). This has been going on for about 2 weeks.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, versions, or reproduction steps. Start by reproducing the repeated “Do you want to continue with the current account?” windows in Git Credential Manager and identify the authentication flow involved; done means the repeated prompts no longer occur under the reported conditions.
