Microsoft Teams Traps Users in Sign-In Loop After Leaving an Organization
When a user leaves an organization, the Microsoft Teams desktop app locks their account and repeatedly prompts them to sign into the now-defunct organizational account, blocking access to any other account or app removal. This leaves affected users unable to use Teams at all until Microsoft addresses the account-transition flow.

A Microsoft Teams user who lost access to a linked account cannot delete or unlink it, and the app keeps opening to that unreachable account. The only workaround is a full uninstall and reinstall, highlighting a persistent gap in account management and removal within Teams.
