Addressing the second credential prompt when launching an application

Second Credential Prompt or PIN Code on AppDashboard

Summary

A user is presented with another login credential prompt or a PIN code when launching an app.

Cause

In most cases, this issue happens if your computer was left on overnight, and your connection to the hosted server times out, requiring additional authentication. This is a Microsoft by-design behavior to keep internet resources secure.
The main recommended methods to avoid this problem:
When you are done with your work day, please exit your hosted apps, then, simply click on the "Logoff" button on your AppDashboard. When you come back the next day, click on the same icon and type in your gotomyerp password to re-initialize your apps.

Solution

Before trying any of the solutions, it is best to update your AppDashboard to the latest version. To do so, go to Settings > Check for Updates

and enter your gotomyerp password.
