Thank you for your post!

When it comes to changing the User Type from Microsoft Account to External Azure AD, this isn't possible. After the user was initially invited to your Azure AD tenant via B2B, if they logged in with an account from another Azure AD organization/tenant (i.e. Microsoft.com), the Issuer would reflect External Azure AD. However, since they signed in with an account from an external identity provider (i.e. Facebook, Google, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) the Issuer is reflecting Microsoft Account.

Issuer:

Note: A user can have several identity providers, which can be viewed by selecting issuer in the user’s profile

From your post, since the user is having issues logging into the Portal - if you have other users/access to confirm, I'd make sure that they're still a user in the tenant and in the correct Directory. Switch and manage directories.

Hi, How can you update an Azure AD user with an identities issuer as mail to ExternalAzureAD? Current method of signing in requires an account verification code each time. Need to make method of signing in more instantaneous.
