How to login to Azure after tenant has been blocked due to inactivity?

Question

I'm trying to login to Azure portal. Apparently I've used it before at some point before, because I get the following error message:

Sign-in failed

Error code: interaction_required

Error message: interaction_required: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity.

I don't care about that old tenant. I just want to learn to use Azure using the free stuff. But I can't even create a ticket because of this. Help. Please.

Hello Konsta Mustonen.

As discussed in Private messages tab, the 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.
