Hi All,

I'm Unable to login to AzureVPNClient anymore due to the error that I keep getting consantly that states "MacTunnelExtension wants to use your credential information stored in your keychain" and it asks for my password. Even after I enter my password which I think is the login password for my machine, it still doesn't login.

Apparently this error is being faced by me and another colleague who uses a macbook but others who use windows laptop dont get this issue and are able to login through the AzureVPNClient.

Kindly Help,

Thanks in advance.

    Solution: I reinstalled the client again from appstore and cleared the cache by clicking configure and clicked clear saved account . After this it started working.

    If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
