`TokenCacheNotificationArgs.Account` is null when read from cache

See original GitHub issue

I noticed that the first time the token is read from the cache it changes the HasTokens but does not assign the Account to the TokenCacheNotificationArgs in the OnAfterAccessAsync method. Only after token is accessed with AcquireTokenInLongRunningProcess is it set.

Which version of MSAL.NET are you using? 4.40.0

Platform ALL

What authentication flow has the issue?

Desktop / Mobile
- Interactive
- Integrated Windows Authentication
- Username Password
- Device code flow (browserless)
Web app
- Authorization code
- On-Behalf-Of
Daemon app
- Service to Service calls

Is this a new or existing app? a. The app is in production, and I have upgraded to a new version of MSAL.

Expected behavior TokenCacheNotificationArgs.Account should be set.

Actual behavior TokenCacheNotificationArgs.Account is null

@pmaytak - can you please comment on @gabrigiunchi 's objection?

AcquireTokenSilent is aimed at web app scenario, not web api. It is scoped by the account itself, i.e. the user projection in a tenant (the user for short). Web API is session based, not user based. AcquireTokenSilent isn’t to be used with web api. For backwards compat purposes, AcquireTokenSilent will never find a refresh token and will throw a UiRequiredException error, which is part of the contract of AcquireTokenSilent.
