I posted a question in SharePoint StackExchange but apparently, the issue is more appropriately asked here?

Is there a way to bypass the "Pick an Account" screen if the user is currently signed on? We have SSO and executives are complaining about having to click to pick an account from below screen before they could access the site. Chrome, IE, and Edge redirects me to this screen whenever I logon for the first time.

    To get a really seamless SSO experience, you need to use a "smart link". As noted in the documentation:

    If an application (for example, https://myapps.microsoft.com/contoso.com) forwards a domain_hint (OpenID Connect) or whr (SAML) parameter - identifying your tenant, or login_hint parameter - identifying the user, in its Azure AD sign-in request, users are automatically signed in without them entering usernames or passwords. Users also get a silent sign-on experience if an application (for example, https://contoso.sharepoint.com) sends sign-in requests to Azure AD's endpoints set up as tenants - that is, https://login.microsoftonline.com/contoso.com/<..> or https://login.microsoftonline.com//<..> - instead of Azure AD's common endpoint - that is, https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/<...>.

    I would pop open fiddler to validate your exact http error message. (More often than not it is a certificate issue from fs) Hope this helps!

    QnA currently only supports the products listed in right-hand pane. Better to reach out to subject matter experts in dedicated forums over here.
