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.

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

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

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.

[–] trolololol 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

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.

More like a trillion dollar company, and they put out some of the worst software in the world.

[–] JeeBaiChow 6 points 1 day ago

The more times they require a sign in, the more places they can track you across anonymous/ private tabs.

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.

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!

[–] I_Miss_Daniel 80 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] kopasz7 7 points 1 day ago

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...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wait, since when does Steam only allow one concurrent login?

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.

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.

I switched from Windows to Linux yesterday.

Apple*: We care about your privacy.

*or basically any company that collect data

[–] trolololol 1 points 2 hours ago

Everybody cares about my privacy. It would be achshually great if anybody respected it.

Apple is way more privacy conscious than Google, which I appreciate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] trolololol 1 points 2 hours ago

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!

[–] flicker 18 points 1 day ago

The bar is in hell.

[–] MotoAsh 10 points 1 day ago

Google is literally anti-privacy so... "better than google" is ... still not necessarily good.

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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wait until you find out about password managers.

[–] finitebanjo 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Its literally mentioned in the comment. If a browser has it then I turn it off. I do not need automated help.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

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.
