Visual Studio 2017 - How to fix error: We could not refresh the credentials for the account
This bug will be fixed in a future version.
For now:
- Close down VS2017
- Go to "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\.IdentityService"
- Rename "IdentityServiceAdalCache.cache" as shown below. (for example just add an underscore to it)
- Restart VS2017 and log in.
NOTE: There are similar issues that this won't resolve, but this worked for me.
Open Visual Studio. Click Help, Send Feedback, Report a Problem...
This brings you to a login screen. If you log in from there, it will log you into Visual Studio.
I tried by deleting only the IdentityServiceAdalCache.cache as in the accepted answer but it did not fix the problem.
For the record, I managed to fix it by deleting every files within the .IdentityService folder (located in C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local.IdentityService).
