We have a web project set up to deploy the same project to a handful of azure websites. When deploying to these websites, deployment in Debug mode works as expected. However when trying to deploy the same project to a website in Release mode, we are always prompted for a password.
Have tried deleting the .pubxml and .pubxml.user files, but the issue persists. Why would it deploy OK in Debug mode, but prompt for a password in Release mode?
Note: most of these projects deploy to virtual directories marked as applications in these websites. Other projects deploy just fine in release and debug mode, it seems to be just one project we are having issues with.
Still not sure why this was only happening with one of the virtual directory applications on the site, but going to the azure portal and clicking "Reset your publish profile credentials" seems to have fixed it.
