Initial Notification 2/9/2015:

We are aware of an issue within MSDN that can require a second sign-in under certain scenarios, related to issues caused by forced re-authentication of expired Live ID sessions. The MSDN team is actively working on a fix, ETA mid-week. There is an existing workaround: sign in, then sign out; or, clear cookies.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
