Bug Description

When reauthenticating, the list of subscriptions to view is reset to the full list of subscriptions the account can access.

This is very tedious and seems like an obvious issue that should have been found very early on and fixed very soon.

Resource Types

Blobs, tables, etc

Authentication Method

Sign in

Connection Type

Sign in (subscription)

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Have an account with many subscriptions.
  2. Authenticate with this account.
  3. In Account Management, uncheck the subscriptions you do not wish to view.
  4. Wait a few weeks until you need to reauthenticate.
Actual Experience

All subscriptions are re-checked and I have to go back and uncheck the subscriptions I do not wish to view.

Expected Experience

Expected: That the subscriptions I had unchecked would not check themselves and reappear anyway.

Additional Context

This has been an ongoing issue for years across many releases.
