Microsoft Visual Studio Credential Errors on Microsoft Azure Account

Question

I was trying to deploy my web application to Microsoft Azure and as I enter my credentials for my Microsoft account, this error popped up and I'm unable to seek the solution to solve. However, I tried logging in through Microsoft Visual Studio itself and get the same error message as well

[Error In TextForm]

We could not add the account [myemail] user_interaction_required : One of two conditions was encountered: 1. The PromptBehavior.Never flag was passed, but the constraint could not be honored, because user interaction was required. 2. An error occurred during a silent web authentication that prevented the http authentication flow from completing in a short enough time frame

May I know what details I need to check in order to solve the following error?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I removed the Users from Azure Active Directory group which were not having any subscriptions, and it works!!

Answer 2

In my case it was because I recently left a company.
They had referenced my personal account for some reason in their Azure Active Directory and locked down the account.
I could determine I was still part of their directory from the azure portal, on the right after clicking on the user name their directory was here among others.
Just contacted then to remove the reference to my account which looks like this if your email is johndoe@hotmail.com : johndoe_hotmail.com#EST#@tenantname.onmicrosoft.com
