Sign in Azure Portal with Gmail account

Question

I'm planning to sign up a new Azure portal account, but I only have a Gmail account. Is there anyway to sign in Azure portal by Gmail account? Or I have to create a Microsoft account?

Hi , Welcome to MS Q&A

Azure portal sign-in requires a Microsoft account. However, yes you can use your Gmail account to create a Microsoft account. Here's how:

1. Go to the Microsoft account sign-up page: Visit https://signup.live.com/ in your web browser.
2. Enter your Gmail address: In the "Email" field, enter your Gmail address.
3. Create a password: Choose a password for your Microsoft account.
4. Complete the security verification: Follow the prompts to complete any security verification steps required by Microsoft.
5. Provide additional information: You may need to provide some additional information, such as your name, date of birth, and country.
6. Verify your email address: Microsoft will send a verification email to your Gmail address. Open the email and click on the verification link to verify your email address.
7. Sign in to Azure Portal: Once your Microsoft account is created and verified, you can use your Gmail address and the password you set to sign in to the Azure portal.
