1. Open Keychain
2. Delete all Entries with "Teams"
3. Also delete all similar entries with "Microsoft"

Maybe also delete everything mentioned here:

Note to self: Microsoft Teams sucks big time. Beg every customer to please use any other available solution.

encfs / osxfuse troubleshooter

My setup:
macOS High Sierra (10.13.3). I decrypt my cloud-data via encfs, which uses osxfuse. Years ago I used BoxCryptor v1 to encrypt my files, but now I'm on macOS and use free software to decrypt my files. (Hint: Don't use BoxCryptor v2, they switched to a proprietary encryption format!)

Problem:
Suddenly after a reboot encfs wasn't working at all.

1. Troubleshoot via verbose mode:
