Every time I open the game, on steam, I need to enter my microsoft account info, and then approve the login via 2FA. Anyone have any ideas on fixing this that doesnt involve reinstalling the game?
Need to Login again every time I open the game on steam
@d3adst1ck not that exactly, but that gave me the idea to lookup where the credentials are saved.
and this ended up fixing the problem. I had to delete like 20 entries, lol.

Not really but used in a similar way.
MD5 is used to store a password for instance without people reading it knowing what your password is.
A token is more of a replacement what is used for an account/ password but is linked to in this case your xbox account and Steam one (as steam shouldn't get those details from xbox and other way around)maybe this image will help

That is a bit over my head but I think I get the general gist of it. Thank you.
