Repeated authentication challenge while sync'ing #2530

Description

Regarding GitHub Extension for Visual Studio (2.11.104.25275), running inside Visual Studio 2019 (16.5.4).

This problem started about 1-2 weeks ago in my GitHub Extension for Visual Studio 2019; it never happened before that and I'm not sure what might have caused it. Each time I do a sync with GitHub Extension for Visual Studio 2019, I am prompted by the Pick An Account popup screen not once but TWICE. But it's not a full credential challenge-- it brings up the authentication screen and merely requires me to click on my account email address. So I click that, sync continues, but before it finishes, it pops up the same authentication screen AGAIN - exactly same as before, and I have to click on my account email again. Identical/duplicate process both times. Makes no sense. If I sync again 5 seconds later - same exact thing: I get challenged twice by the Pick An Account popup window and I have to click my account twice. Why isn't this caching/remembering my credentials and reusing it like it used to??

Please see screenshots and you'll see exactly what I'm seeing.

I have tried restarting VS2019, rebooting my PC (a few times), re-logging into Azure Devops via the github extension in VS2019 - nothing solves the problem.

I can interact with the web client without any problems at all.

Any ideas?
