    Sorry. You’re not a tenant of this place. Maybe try another account with the same email address but a different password that is from a home or work or student or was made by your employer or by you or is attached to your domain name, and give us the code on your authenticator and the one we just pretended to email you and sorry something went wrong and we need to quit and you need teams classic or modern or your OneDrive for business or personal or the sync service isn’t running…

    Or local account.

      Reading this gave me PTSD. Locked out due to expired password (what is a reminder email, who needs those?), can’t access anything corporate, submitted ticket to IT on web portal, IT is trying to reach me via Teams…

    Microsoft successfully converting a generation to Linux one Log in at a time, I commend Microsoft for having a socialist agenda so secret they don’t even know about it.

    I tick that box a hundred times a day and can confirm it doesn’t do shit (at least in my work environment).

      I’m a Microsoft engineer with 3 decades of experience.

      Please run sfc /scannow. If that doesn’t work, please try searching for updates or reinstalling drivers.

        Haha reinstall drivers is still an official way to fix things??? 3 and a half decades in and sounds like windows still “hold my beer” and self destructs like a plastic chair left in the sun.

        reboot is the only solution, followed by full reinstall which is the only solution. Or just use arch btw lol

        Ps: I don’t use arch but that joke is too easy to pass

      They make a joke about it in The Boys. Which I find so extra funny. Perfect way to sell the character is tech savvy

    You can’t use a VPN if it’s not a company device, so we’ll make it significantly easier and use a VDI.

    First, open the client which will require you to log in and MFA via text. Then you select the one and only environment to connect to, which will require a log in. Once you are connected to a pool you can RDP into your workstation or servers, that don’t retain usernames no matter how many times you try to save it.

    Oh and for security purposes it has a 5 minute lock policy for RDP. And another few minutes for the VDI session so you’ll have eto log back in twice.

      Don’t forget you have to change your password every 60 days for security, and cannot reuse the last 5 passwords.

    Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting “No”, “Never Remember Password”, unchecking “Stay Signed in”, disabling “Password Manager”

    I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don’t need automated help.

    I never have to re-sign into, well, anything as long as I:

    • Don’t reformat/reinitialize the device I save the login on
    • Don’t log in from another device on services that only allow 1 concurrent login (like Steam)
    • Don’t clear my cookies

    The last item is gonna hurt a lot of the extreme privacy people. I know y’all never save cookies.

      I have to use this shit for work. If you don’t set your cookies to auto delete it is basically impossible to go through the Microsoft SSO after around a week. Just use a decent password manager if you can and press enter 4 or five times.

        It would be that easy, if not for “please approve login on your microsoft authenticator app” step which means i also have to pull out my phone, unlock it, find the stupid app and then type in the code

          Think god I don’t have to deal with that. It’s not even surprising that it can be even shittier though.

    If the other comments knew the details, the response would be terror not annoyance:

    Management types in smaller, growing businesses are shockingly susceptible to the promise of “cleaning things up” by making everything a “Microsoft shop”, even when that means transferring data and control to Azure (competitors also try but MSFT almost always wins)

    They’re happy, they own nothing and they don’t even know it

    Note: this is largely referring to corporate accounts
