Cannot log in to Azure Portal - More information required - Next button does nothing

When I attempt to log in with my personal microsoft account to my own personal tenant on Azure, I get a page that says:

"More information required. Your organization needs more information to keep your account secure."

It has one option, Next, and if I click it, the page indicates its trying to load something but it is endless, nothing happens. This occurs on Chrome, Firefox, Private Windows, and the Mobile app on Android. I tried clearing cache as well to no avail.

This started happening recently after some changes:

  1. I started college and log in with another microsoft account occasionally. I noticed at one point when I logged into azure it was signed in to this .edu account and I had the option to switch from my personal directory to the college's directory.
  2. Enabled MFA on my microsoft account

I have since removed MFA from my microsoft account and the issue still persists.

Last weird quirk of the issue is it seems like when I get this error, nothing can be done to resolve it other than waiting for like 30-45 minutes. Then I can sometimes log in with my personal account.

How do I resolve this issue? I'm trying to learn Azure and this is a massive hinderance. Not to mention that I literally cannot manage the account when I'm locked out so I won't be able to stop resources.

    That's a weird one for sure. Can you log in to account.microsoft.com with your personal account and try managing your MFA settings under Security-->Account-->Manage how I sign in

    Maybe try adding an authenticator app to your account, or if you have it set up already, removing and readding it?
