I am using VSCode and started getting the following error when launching VSCode:

You have been signed out because reading stored authentication information failed.

I checked the "Microsoft Authentication" output and see the following being logged:

I do not recall having to log into any Microsoft environment to use VSCode, and not sure how to check or reset password to resolve this.
