@xiangyan99, currently we don't support this function. macOS broker team has a similar feature in ADAL which involved a lot of issues (this feature will be expensive). So, to help them make decisions about whether to support this scenario in mac broker, probably we may need more data, like what we can benefit from this?

To make sure we are on the same page, the expectation is we should ignore the setting and always pop up the account picker. But no crash.

To be clear, the broader MSAL teams will evaluate whether the "default account" feature will be supported by the mac broker. Regardless, if the caller wants the "ignore the [setting absence of default account] and always [fallback to] pop up the account picker", you shall call MSAL Python without any prompt parameter, as described in detail in #757.
