Hello Tao Tang (Contractor)

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

To manage the login account for a virtual machine in the Azure portal, please follow these steps:

1. Once signed in to the Azure portal, click on "Virtual machines".
2. Select the virtual machine you want to manage, click on "Connect" at the top of the page.
3. In the "Connect to virtual machine" pane, if you are connecting from a Windows machine, you can use the RDP option. If you are connecting from a Linux machine, you can use the SSH option.

Once you are connected to your virtual machine, you can manage the login account by following the appropriate steps for your operating system.
For example, on a Windows virtual machine, you can manage the login account by opening the "Computer Management" console and navigating to "Local Users and Groups".
On a Linux virtual machine, you can manage the login account by using the appropriate command-line tools, such as "useradd" and "usermod".

If you're still having trouble finding or managing the login account for your VM in the Azure portal, you may want to check your permissions to ensure that you have the necessary access rights to manage the VM.

Hope this helps.
