title: Azure cloud service publishing wizard failing
body: <p>For some unknown reason, I now get this error when I try to publish my cloud service.  (I'm shown as logged into visual studio, but the wizard seems to not recognise this - and step 1 of the wizard has a link to "re-enter credentials" - which gives this error too)</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TIxCd.gif" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The service is a simple one: just a single web role.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried everything I can think of, in this order:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Restart Computer</li>
  <li>Restore last known working copy of the solution</li>
  <li>"Clean" the project </li>
  <li>Reset my visual studio (2013) as per <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/25416954/440704">this</a> stack overflow answer</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any help / pointers would be very very welcome, I'm stumped - and I'm stuck with a cloud service that I can't publish to!!!</p>
  
  <p>Here is my visual studio info:</p>
