Blocked sign in on certain sites

Question

Microsoft will allow certain sites to load and display, however when I sign into the site for full use of it, Microsoft has blocked this site message appears. How do I un-block this

Answer 1

If you are encountering a message indicating that a site has been blocked by Microsoft, it could be due to the site's activities violating the Acceptable Use Policy. To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

1. Contact Support: If you believe that the site should not be blocked, you can submit a support request to restore access. This can be done by selecting Contact support on the SharePoint Acceptable Use Policy page in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
2. Check Activities: Ensure that no activities associated with your organization violate the Acceptable Use Policy for Microsoft Online Services. If there are any such activities, they need to be addressed to regain access.

If the issue persists after these steps, you may need to reach out to your IT administrator for further assistance.

The message does not say anything about site violating any rules, only that microsoft has blocked it...

Answer 3

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

To help narrow down the issue:

1. Are you using any VPN, custom DNS, or any security features from a third-party antivirus that might be interfering?
2. Did this issue start happening recently, or has it been ongoing?
3. Is this happening with only certain sites, or multiple sites?

In the meantime, if you haven’t already:

• Temporarily disable any third-party antivirus or security software, if you have one, and see if the site works.
• Try accessing the site using a browser other than Microsoft Edge to see if the issue persists.

I have an add blocker on here, however, it has never interfered before. I even called Do-it mold company as it's their soft plastic custom bait mold forum and they changed my password and checked it and everything worked... yet it don't work here...

Answer 5

Thank you for letting me know.

It might still be affecting the sign-in even if it shows as turned off.

Are you able to temporarily turn off the ad blocker completely, or uninstall it for testing, then restart Microsoft Edge and try signing in again?

Also, aside from the ad blocker, did you make any other recent changes, like installing new extensions, security software, VPN, or updates?
