Question: Strange behavior of the credentials save under Windows OS

See original GitHub issue

I am not sure if this is on my machine only so it is here just FYI:

I logged yesterday and the auto credentials save seemed to work OK, although I have not checked the Windows Credentials Manager for details.

Today I got the following behavior from the first run:

C:\Projects\office365-cli (customaction-list -> origin) (@pnp/office365-cli@0.4.0)
λ o365
o365$ spo customaction get --id 04e7ede1-e68d-4759-80ec-1e2ab90625cf --url https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx --verbose
Error: 401 - {"error_description":"Invalid JWT token. The token is expired."}

Then I did the following

o365$ spo disconnect
o365$ spo status --debug
Not connected to SharePoint Online
o365$ spo connect https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx
o365$ spo status --debug
Connected to https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx

  Is tenant admin:  false
  AAD resource:     https://xxx.sharepoint.com
  Access token:
  Refresh token:    undefined
  Expires at:       Wed Dec 31 1969 23:59:59 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)

Note on the last o365$ spo connect https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx did not asked me for sign in, could be a cache.

However, the disconnect command worked by executing the following steps:

- o365$ spo disconnect
- close the console window
- open the console window 
- o365$ spo connect https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx
To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://aka.ms/devicelogin and enter the code D67HVHXXX to authenticate.

I will test tonight and close it if I cannot reproduce.

Thanks for double checking. Theoretically, the expiration should’ve been handled correctly but you never know. We can always revisit if we spot the issue again.
