Visual Studio Error: (407: Proxy Authentication Required)

Question

I am behind a corporate proxy server which requires credentials. I have been trying to connect to a TFS server (on tfspreview.com) with MS Visual Studio Pro 2012

Answer 1

My case is when using two factor auth, outlook account and VS12.

I found out I have to

• open IE (my corporate default browser)
• log in to visual studio online account (including two factor auth)
• connect again in VS12 (do the auth again for some reason)
