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
- Have an account with many subscriptions.
- Authenticate with this account.
- In Account Management, uncheck the subscriptions you do not wish to view.
- 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.
