Silent auth already fails for most public clients when the caller doesn't specify an account, because in that case the client searches the cache for a token having home account ID
""
and all user tokens have a nonempty value. However, if a public client shares its cache with a confidential client, it can return the application's token in this case--see #419 (comment) for details. It's unlikely any developer would create that scenario, however it's worth preventing because it can lead to authenticating an unexpected identity, which is dangerous and hard to debug.
