I use Visual Studio 2015 SP 1 and want to connect to the Azure Storage (different than I logged to Visual Studio account). Problem is I always have to check authentification even I set checkbox "I sign in frequently on this device. Don't ask me for a code"
How to solve it (tell to Visual Studio that I don't need auth via phone each time)?

I set up an Azure site years ago and have been making only small changes since, but I've upgraded my PC and now Visual Studio no longer remembers the credentials to deploy the site.
I went into the Azure portal but everything is different now and much more complicated. How do I set up credentials to use webdeploy in the new interface?
If you sign in to visual studio using your azure AD credentials then you can easily deploy web app to azure.
Considering you are signed in to visual studio using your azure credentials then you can go to View->Cloud explorer
You should be able to see available subscriptions here
I'm running into issues trying to register Visual Studio 2017 and 2015 with my Visual Studio Online Subscription (a.k.a. MSDN). I'm using a VMWare VDI using their Horizon Client if that matters. The OS is Windows 10, and the Visual Studio SKU is Professional. My client requires me to run under two separate identities, one with limited privileges for non-development work, and an administrator account for development work (annoying, but not unreasonable given my client is a very large corporation). So, I run Visual Studio under that admin account using Run as administrator.
My problem: On the virtual machine Visual Studio hangs when I click the Sign-In button, or the Check for an updated license on the product registration sign-in page. Note: This problem only occurs from the virtual machine using my administrator account. It works fine on the virtual machine under my normal non-admin account. Nor do I have issues on the physical machine I'm using to run the VM. That said, my client requires me to use the virtual machine.
I'm just wondering if anyone else as seen this same issue. There is something about running under my admin account on VMWare that is hanging Visual Studio registration as soon as I click sign-in. Likely a firewall or proxy setting, not sure. I'm working closely with my client's IT Operations, but they are as perplexed as I.
While creating a SharePoint (SharePoint online hosted) app in Visual Studio 2015, I used my organization-issued personal account. While signing-in I accidentally checked the Remember me box.
And now, for another project, I have to log-in again using different credentials, which has administrator privileges. But, the sign-in page never shows up now.
I tried clearing internet explorer cache, repairing Visual Studio, reinstalling/updating SharePoint plugin etc., but nothing worked. It automatically logs me in using my personal account.
I tried finding keys in Windows Credential Store in Control Panel, but was unable.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
We had a very similar problem as such you were not able to connect to Team Foundation Server with your own credentials.
To solve this problem
Open the Credential Manager in Control Panel
Edit the Generic Credentials to be your own account
Close and open Visual Studio 2015
Reconnect to TFS
Enter your credentials in prompt poping up
Note: Do not forgot to uncheck the option "Remember my credentials" to force to ask credentials for every TFS connections.
Now, you will be able to connect to Visual Studio 2015 with your account from now on.
We have a nuget feed set up on our Team Services account. With VS 2015, I can authenticate no problem, using the Microsoft login form.
With Visual Studio 2013, it pops up very generic authentication form, which keeps popping up no matter what I input to it. Has anyone else come across this? Any way around it?
Normally, I would just use 2015 to authenticate then 2013 would be fine. Unfortunately, I can't get 2015 to run on my pc anymore - so I need to make this work with 2013.
Authenticate to VSTS feed via "Nuget Package Manager" requires VS2015 Update1 and later just as the information mentioned in the page provided by Jack.
If you don't mind to store the credential in "Nuget.config" file, you could use Personal Access Token method which support all nuget client and easy to use. And Nuget Auth Helper is also a good method to do this.
Nowadays it is possible to use Visual Studio Team Services from Microsoft Azure with Organization account, without having to have Microsoft Account. This is nice feature and we use it in our organization. However it seems that we are not able to activate / use Sign in to visual studio button and login with Organization account, because only Microsoft account prompt is shown.
Is it possible, and if so, how to login/sign-in/activate Visual Studio 2013 desktop program with Azure Organization Account instead Microsoft Account ?
Visual Studio Team Services is different service from VIsual Studio Desktop.
As of Today I am not aware of the possibility to sign-in to Visual Studio Desktop with OrgID. However, you absolutely will have no problems signing in to your Team Services using OrgID and use the Team Services from within the Visual Studio Desktop IDE.
Last but not least, Sign-in to Visual Studio IDE provide service that is absolutely different and has nothing to do with the Team Services.
Just one of all the features the "Visual Studio Sign-in" provides, is to automatically sign you in to your Team Services account. But if your Team Services account is an OrgId, then you will have to use the OrgId when accessing the Team Projects. That's it. There is no restriction on accessing the team projects.
UPDATE
Almost two years after the original answer, it is now possible to login to Visual Studio Team Services using Organisational Accounts. Check more here.
You can now sign in to the Visual Studio client/IDE with Microsoft accounts or work/school accounts (formerly organizational accounts). Previously, you could only sign in to the Visual Studio client with a Microsoft account.
Set up Visual Studio with Team Services
I haven't tested it myself, but you should be able to do this. You just need to jump through a few hoops to do it.
Here is an excerpt from the MSDN FAQ:
Q. Can I use an Organizational account with my MSDN subscription?
You must use a Microsoft account to activate your MSDN subscription, but you can then link your benefits to your Organizational account through the My Account portal. This way, you can use your benefits with Visual Studio Team Services accounts that were either created or set up with Azure Active Directory to support Organizational accounts. You get the same level of benefits whether you use an Organizational account or a Microsoft account.
The FAQ also explains that there is actually a benefit to doing this, as it reduces risk for the business. The reason is that the business have control over the assets created by the organizational account, and as I understand it, it's easier for the business to transfer the MSDN benefit to another account when using organizational accounts.
