Microsoft Teams is one of those pieces of software you either love or hate. I personally hate using Microsoft Teams but I understand its appeal and necessity in the current environment. The biggest issue with Teams is that there’s always a new issue that you need to deal with, at least when using the Windows app. From my experience, the web version of Teams is the best option however it isn’t for everyone.
The latest annoyance to find its way into Teams prevents users from storing their password in Teams. Which means each and every single time you open the Teams app, you have to enter your password. Which essentially defeats the entire purpose of using the Teams app on your device. Thankfully, there are a range of different troubleshooting steps you can take to solve this issue. Before you begin make sure you have the latest version of Teams installed on your computer

The first one requires you to clear your Microsoft Teams Cache. To clear your Microsoft Teams cache on Windows 10 you’ll need to do the following.
