How Can I Avoid Login Issues in the Future?

To prevent login issues caused by cached credentials or website data, follow these best practices:

1. Use separate browsers for accounts with different credentials (e.g., Microsoft accounts, other .edu accounts).
2. For Mac users, avoid using Keychain to store Loyola or other account passwords to prevent conflicts.
3. Set your browser to clear cached history and cookies regularly. This can be done upon closing the browser or shutting down your computer.
