Using a lot of ms services at work. If I leave 10 tabs open, I get 10 individual login popups in the morning. I like to assume there is some reason behind this I'm too dumb to understand, because it is very obviously not good UX and very annoying.

    Token expiry. Because the same login token is used across many services, it expires at the same time. Of course, because the tabs are all open, they just know you need to log in again, not whether you've got other services open that also use your account.
