Billion Dollar company can’t even fixed this shit
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…

Apple is way more privacy conscious than Google, which I appreciate.
The bar is in hell.
Google is literally anti-privacy so… “better than google” is … still not necessarily good.
No, they still collect the same amount of data about you. Apple is just very strict about making sure only Apple gets that data, and not other apps/websites on your device
Are you saying Google shares the data they collect? No way, my data is too valuable to be sold. their whole business model is selling services (ads) powered by my data!
Everybody cares about my privacy. It would be achshually great if anybody respected it.
I switched from Windows to Linux yesterday.
Cool, But I still need it for my Minecraft account
🏴☠️
I was but I play multiplayer mostly.
So you on Bedrock Edition…?
Java.
Java has multiplayer as well, and not all servers allow cracked Minecraft. There are “online” servers (that require you to buy the game) and “offline” servers (that allow everyone).
You pays your money, you takes your choice.
Still get this on Linux for school and work emails.
Must be nice.
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
He was joking, because that is the sort of “help” you actually get.
try clearing your cookies or whatever on whatever browser and sign in page for that, I need to do that every now and again and I lose my shit every time.
Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.
All that being said, I’ve definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.
They make a joke about it in The Boys. Which I find so extra funny. Perfect way to sell the character is tech savvy
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.
Trickle down economics.
More lies.
That you own media you bought.

Here’s a reminder to sign this initiative if you are a citizen of EU and spread the word about it everywhere if you are not!

More like a trillion dollar company, and they put out some of the worst software in the world.
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.
15 characters minimum, with at least one upper case, lower case, number and special character with No more than 2 repeating characters
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.
Wait, since when does Steam only allow one concurrent login?
It’s been that way since release.
That’s just not true, I switch between devices all the time
You use two or more computers at the same time?
This is directly from Steam’s support page on the topic:
Steam does not support multiple players using one Steam account simultaneously - games associated with a Steam account are licensed for the sole use of the account holder.
If multiple users attempt to log in and play simultaneously with one Steam account, the user who logged in first will eventually receive an “Invalid Steam UserID Ticket” error message and be forced to log back in to continue playing (if the first user logs back in, the second user will receive this error message).
It’s literally worked that way since 2003.
Oh at the same time, nevermind, no I don’t do that. I was thinking about having a device logged, not necessarily turned on
Well, you’re lucky then. I don’t do any of those things on my work computer, and that checkbox might as well not exist.
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.
Wait until you find out about password managers.
Its literally mentioned in the comment. If a browser has it then I turn it off. I do not need automated help.
Don’t use a browser. Use a dedicated password manager. It is far more secure than trying to memorize what is likely a predicable password. Humans are terrible at password. That is why you create a random password and then memorize it. You do that once and you are all set.
I don’t use the browser, dumbass. Welcome to the conversation.
I’m not poking fun. I’m giving good security advise.
Your security advice is shit because you’re shit at security, please take the hint and converse with somebody who wasn’t already explicitly opposed to every single word you type to them.
Literally everyone in the security industry recommends a good password manager. That’s standard practice.
Yeah but that won’t help you if your password gets stolen somehow and someone is trying to log in from India or something
Yes it would be exactly the same actually, how would any of the things I described help in that scenario?
My bad I thought you were talking about 2 factor
Yeah 2FA is cool.
If anything, remembering your password or persistent sessions are worse for security. You’re better off with mfa, passwordless authentication and using a password manager
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
You can get stuck in a loop if you have multiple accounts such as a dev and production account.
So if you’re in stuck in the dev account and need to log into production you get stuck in a loop of it trying to login as the dev account.
The only way out is to find a dev site and log out from the dev account.
My brother in Christ, scope your sessions… Firefox has containers, chrome has profiles, or hell, just use two different browsers.
Sadly I cannot make every user of our software do that when MSAL/Entra is the chosen IAM provider :(
I go to portal.azure.com and use the account switcher to sign in to second (prod) account there. This will make both accounts show up when logging in to a service without having to log out from the first.
