Azure portal login issue after deleting the default login directory

Question

Context:

I wasn’t able to upgrade my subscription, so I deleted my tenant to create a new one where I could buy a subscription. However, once I deleted it, it logged me out, and now when I try to sign in, it gets stuck in the redirect loop and gives this error. I assume that It tries to log in to the deleted tenant, hence failing. I also tried logging in using Azure CLI and tried to change the default directory but no luck.

PS C:\Users\Faakhir Habib> az login

Answer 1

You have to sign in by using a Microsoft Entra user account that exists in the newly created tenant
