I am trying to go through the instructions here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/allow-users-reset-their-password/4-exercise-set-up-self-service-password-reset

  1. Go to Microsoft Entra ID > Password reset.
  2. Select Get a free Premium trial to use this feature.
  3. Under Microsoft Entra ID P2, expand Free trial, and select Activate.
  4. Refresh the browser to see the Password reset - Properties page. You might need to refresh a few times.

When I click Activate, it starts taking me through a process to sign up for a new company. None of those steps are in the exercise. I am wondering if there is something wrong wtih my existing free trial.

    This process no longer works as described. You need to provide a credit card number during trial activation and you need to be signed in by using an Entra ID cloud account (not a Microsoft account).
