When can AccountInfo be null after login resolves?

Description

I’m upgrading from 2.4.1 to 2.9.0 and I’m running into new type errors when accessing AccountInfo on the resolved value of the login APIs, example:

const ssoResult = await msal.ssoSilent(...);
console.log(ssoResult.account.username); // Object is possibly 'null'. ts(2531)

I’d like to know if there is now a potential scenario where the login api’s can resolve but not include AccountInfo data? If so, any way to avoid this scenario?

@deasems The account property is marked as null because there are scenarios in other libraries where account may not be populated, but it should always be populated when using msal-browser. We will look into improving this to make it less confusing.

I will try to put out a PR that addresses this.
