Cannot sign in Azure account (just registered)

Question

Cannot sign in Azure account (just registered)

Zhuozhi Zhang 0

Just registered an Azure account using my personal MS outlook account. All information filled.

Sign-up was successful, but when I tried to sing-in, it redirected me to an organizational account sign-in page and requiring authenication. This organizational account was disabled by the organization as I no longer work there.

I've also tried another browser, as well as cleaning the browser records and cache. None of these worked, the different browser linked me to another old organizational account sign-in page.

Seems like the management of MS account is a critical problem. Anyone know how to disconnect all these not-used organizational account with my personal account?

What link did you use to sign in? Did you try https://portal.azure.com?

Hello Zhuozhi Zhang

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A platform.

It sounds like you're having trouble signing in to your newly created Azure account because it’s redirecting you to an old organizational account. This can happen if your personal Microsoft account is still linked to that old organization. Here are a few steps you can try to solve your issue:

Clear Browser Data: Make sure your browser’s cache and cookies are completely cleared, not just doing a cleanup, this can sometimes help with remnants of old sessions.

Sign In with the Right Account: When you're redirected to the sign-in page, double-check that you're entering the correct credentials associated with your personal account, not the organization’s account.

Use Incognito/Private Browsing: Sometimes, using an incognito window can bypass stored data that might be causing issues. Try signing in again using this mode.

Check Account Management: If you want to disconnect your personal account from the old organizational account, you may need to log into the Microsoft Account Center and check your account associations there. Removing the old organizational link can often be done through the account settings.

New Browser or Device: As a last resort, try signing in on a different browser or device to ensure it’s not a local issue with your setup.

Follow-Up Questions:

Have you attempted signing in using the official Azure sign-in link directly?

What specific error messages do you see when redirected to the organizational account login page?

Can you confirm whether you were ever associated with multiple Microsoft accounts, which might be relevant here?

Hope this helps, and please let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi Emily,

As I just registered, I used the upper right "Sign-in" at the Azure page (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us). I just also tried the link you posted but nor working, it still redirected to organizational sign-in page.

Additional info to Suchitra's as well as the AI generated responses:

I have tried all the moves mentioned in the responses -- clear browser cache and cookies, using different browser, using private browsing mode, using different device (cell phone) -- and not one of them worked.

For the account management, I also referred to some other threads in the community of redirection to previous organizational sign-in page, and I found my account management was different -- there was no "Organizations" tab in my account management page.

As I already left the organization, it is no way for me to sign-in to the organizational account which has been disabled soon after I left. I have no idea why it appeared when I tried to log-in to my personal account. Noted that normal sign-in to my personal account was not affected, only this newly registered Azure service was affected.

The problem still exist, and I have no idea what to do.

Hello Zhuozhi Zhang,

This issue will be resolved by signing in using the tenant-specific Azure portal URL and the tenant ID I have provided over the private messages tab:

https://portal.azure.com/<tenant-ID>

Once you accessed the portal through the tenant-scoped URL, the tenant became active again and you will be able to manage resources without further issues.

And the tenant will be restored successfully.

Additionally, you can make use of this option which helps you to redirects only to specific tenant:
