How to log into a different account at VisualStudio.com? - visual-studio

At some point I must have logged in with my personal account using my outlook.com credentials. Now, I can sign out, but when I click 'sign in' it automatically logs me in with my personal account and I don't have an option of logging in with my work credentials.
I'd prefer not to delete all cookies/cache. I am using IE 11
I have gone to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ and went to my account and clicked 'forget', but it still auto logs me into my outlook.com account when signing in.

You can open a page by InPrivate Browsing for IE.
And then input your another VSTS account username.visualstudio.com, it will hint you to input you email and password.

Jenkins changing email password and its 'concealed' every time I came back

After every time changing the password and saving it. When I come back to Configuration password is changed. And when I click on change password button the existing value I get are under screenshots
There is a similar question asked here before here is the link for that
Jenkins changing the email password that I saved
As from 30 May 2022 gmail no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. So I couldn't follow the solution exactly.
What I did
Generated the gmail password By going into my gmail account Settings -> Security and under 'Signing in to google' option I clicked on 'App passwords' and generated one.
Then I disabled the 2 step verification following the solution provided on above link
But it isn't working either. Any help would be great. Just started with jenkins not a pro at it!
Thanks in advance

Why can't I login to gitlab on visual studio after signing up with email?

I just created a GitLab account, I signed up by using the "Using google" option, and it just prompted me for my gmail credentials. The email in question is a company email I was given by my administrators.
When I wanted to use these credentials in Visual Studio, it asked me with this screen for my credentials:
I entered my company email and its password, but I received this error from Visual Studio:
Fetching from origin
Remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
Error encountered while fetching: Git failed with a fatal error.
Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.com/xxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx.git/
I wanted to make sure the credentials were properly set, so I went to gitlab page and signed out. When trying to sign in, same thing happens. I am allowed to sign in to gitlab if I use "Using google" option, but not via email + password.
Is this a problem?, do you know any workaround I could use to sing into my gitlab account within Visual Studio?
When you created your account, it's bound to your google credentials. You can see it's connected by clicking on your profile icon in the upper right corner and clicking "Preferences > Account". Under Social Sign-in, you'll see that the google button now shows "Disconnect Google". When you do this, GitLab does not assign you a username by default (honestly, it may now, but it didn't when I created my account several years ago). However, you can change your username on that same "Preferences > Account" page under the "Change username" heading, so go ahead and assign yourself one if you don't have one there. If you already have one, go ahead and take note of that.
Once you have your username, you can likely authenticate using an access token instead of a password. Create an access token under "Preferences > Access Token" and assign the privileges you want depending on what you are going to do with VS.
If you really want to use a password instead (or if the VS plugin doesn't work with an access token), you can set a password under "Preferences > Password", and use that instead.
Hopefully this helps!

Use this token as password for you enter to the form what you seen.

How do I remove a Google user with access to my site?

Users can go to account.google.com and revoke access from my site. How can I accomplish the same thing?
I have a site that uses Google authentication. The site, however, does not have a sign up process. New users are added by the site administrators. This is accomplished by simply adding their email to a list. This works fine in most cases. If a user comes to the site they are requested to authenticate with Google. I get their email if it is on the list I let them in. If it is not I tell them that they are not authorized to use the site.
If the user has multiple Google accounts logged in to their browser everything works fine. If the user has only one account signed in, and that is an authorized account all is well too. The next time they go to the site they are allowed in without authentication. Which is really cool.
However, if the one account they have signed in with on their browser is not authorized they are immideatly taken to the "You are not authorized" page. They are not given the opportunity to sign in with some other account.
If I could revoke the permission they granted to the site in Google (for unauthorized users), the next time they come to the site it would ask them to sign in again and give them the option of signing in with another account. Authorized accounts are typically work accounts. I am afraid that because the sign in process is so quick and easy, if someone accidentally signs in with their personal account on their phone they won't get a second chance to correct the error.
This is done by Revoking the token. Thanks #DalmTo
In some cases a user may wish to revoke access given to an application. A user can revoke access by visiting Account Settings. It is also possible for an application to programmatically revoke the access given to it. Programmatic revocation is important in instances where a user unsubscribes or removes an application. In other words, part of the removal process can include an API request to ensure the permissions granted to the application are removed.

Dynamics 365 Portals - Employee Self-Service - 'Content Editor Tool' not appearing for 2nd Admin user

I have a trial Dynamics 365 Portal for Employee Self-Service. I am also seeing this issue in my real Office 365/Dynamics 365 instance.
For my first Admin user I was able to log into the Portal, add them to the Administrator web role, log in again and see the 'Content Editor Tool' floating in the top right corner. All good.
For a second Admin user I do exactly the same thing... but no 'Content Editor Tool' appears. I have tried to match both the first Admin account and the second Admin account exactly the same but nothing happens.
I have also Restarted the Portal from the Admin center and have turned the Portal off and on again.
Is there anyway I can diagnose why this second Admin is not working?
I worked it out. Web Roles and Security Roles are not the same.
Security Roles are set at User level and provide access to Dynamics 365.
Web Roles are set at Contact level and provide access to the Portal.
For the other Portals you just send an Invitation Workflow, and I still had to do this step even though the User had been created already by virtue of logging into the Employee Self Service (ESS) portal. I created the invite for the Contact, saved it, added the Administrator Web Role, and then selected 'Other Activities' (in the ... button) and then 'Invite Redemption'.
In the 'Invite Redemption' dialog, select the Contact again, provide any username, and click the 'Save' button.
This will complete the workflow to add the Web Role. Next time you log in as that user the tool will be visible.

Magento + PayPal Sandbox

So, recently PayPal switched from sandbox.paypal to developer.paypal interface. It is still in beta mode, so it's not working perfectly, and on the other hand sandbox is practically disabled, you can not register nor login with old credentials.
So, when trying to make a test system in Magento, I create one seller account and one buyer account in new developer.paypal interface, but when I try to make a purchase it keeps showing me the wrong login/pass error (I enter the seller account e-mail and password).
Before all this I remember I had to be logged in the sandbox.paypal with my main sandbox account for this to work, but now login to sandbox is not possible any more, and login to developer doesn't help.
Anyone had similar issues? I tried anywhere to find any clue for solution, but no luck, and I don't waiting for PayPal to complete their test environment is an option.
I haven't had the same issue however have you imported your old accounts? That way you can use the same test email addresses and passwords as before.
Log into https://developer.paypal.com
Click Applications
Click Sandbox accounts
Click "Import data"
Enter your email address and password for the old developer account.
All settings for the prior accounts should be imported as well. Sandbox.paypal.com is still accessible too, you do need to be logged into your developer account to access it which is the same condition as before.
If you continue receiving a password error trying resetting the password to the accounts by following the steps below:
Log into https://developer.paypal.com
Click Applications
Click Sandbox accounts
Expand the account in question
Click "Profile"
Click "Change Password"
Lastly, you'll also want to delete all developer.paypal.com cookies and cache before using the beta environment. If you do not, you'll see the error message below:
"This Sandbox email address is not available. Please enter another email address."
Let me know if you continue to receive errors.
