Hello, We have recently implemented Azure AD B2C in a significant project within our company. However, we've come across rumors suggesting that this service might become obsolete in the near future. This information is quite concerning to us as we rely on Azure AD B2C for managing user authentication and identity in our project. Can you confirm whether these rumors are true, and if so, what is the planned timeline for Azure AD B2C's end-of-life? If Azure AD B2C is indeed being phased out, what are the recommended alternatives by Microsoft? What support does Microsoft offer for companies transitioning to a different solution? How can we ensure a smooth and secure migration for our users? We would greatly appreciate any information or advice you could provide to help us plan our long-term strategy. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Best regards,

Hello, Thank you for your prompt response. I understand your stance regarding the need for specific sources to address rumors. Unfortunately, I do not have direct links to these rumors as they were communicated informally within our professional network. My primary concern is to understand Microsoft's official stance regarding the future of Azure AD B2C. We are not seeking to verify rumors but to obtain official confirmation about the longevity of this service. Our goal is to ensure that our investment in Azure AD B2C remains viable for the long term.

Can you confirm if Microsoft currently has any plans to discontinue or significantly alter Azure AD B2C in the coming years?

Are there any official communications or public roadmaps from Microsoft that you could direct us to, regarding the future of Azure AD B2C?

We greatly appreciate your help and guidance to ensure that our strategic decisions are aligned with the future direction of Microsoft products. Best regards,

I have heard no rumors. I don't work for the B2C team so I cannot confirm what their plans are.

As of a while back this post contains a link to their RSS feed with updates.

---Hello, Thank you for your response and for providing the link to the updates page. I have checked the provided link [https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/updates/?status=nowavailable%2Cinpreview%2Cindevelopment&category=identity%2Csecurity&query=b2c], but unfortunately, I was unable to find specific information regarding the future plans or longevity of Azure AD B2C. I appreciate your efforts to assist me, and I understand that you might not have direct information about this. However, I would like to keep my question open in case someone else from the community has more insights or if there's an official statement from the Azure AD B2C team regarding their long-term plans for this service. Thank you once again for your help, and I look forward to any further information that may become available. Best regards,
