Signing in on Microsoft
-
What is it with Microsoft and not being able to manage something as simple as a session? Why are sessions so majorly over complicated that singing in is one of those fun things that can take half an hour?
Fuck everything about incompetent evil Microsoft
The only company that hasn't yet managed to build a successful sign-in.

Fucking Redirect Loop. They're so dogshit at this it loops back to being funny.

+1. I'm very confused and don't understand what it's supposed to do.
At my work, we were told that the cyber security people don't want us to say logged in, so they just ignore it if you say yes. Why it bothers to ask at all in that case, I do not know

I actually recently added the Microsoft logout page to µblocks domain filter at work, since it would every now and then trigger a logout the very first page load after I'd log in to the email there.
This has also somehow caused a bunch of other AD-connected systems to suddenly behave a lot better when it comes to session termination.
Edit: Since people were asking for it, this is what you need to add to the "My filters" tab in your UBO config;
||login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/logout^$documentThis will prevent any requests from redirecting you to log out, timeouts etc will still invalidate your session.
Oh, do share.

Reminds me of the w10->w11 upgrade in one of my former jobs.
For most of the upgrade process, there was the common Windows blue screen. In the foreground, a big fat clickable 'OK' button, and right underneath, the phrase 'Your upgrade is underway. Do NOT press OK!'
at least they didn't put the recompute base encryption hash key next to it

Finally got motivated enough to change the lock screen from other peoples photography to my own. Spend an hour going through shots and make a folder under 'Pictures' root folder called 'Lock screen', go to the settings for lock screen and select that folder as the slideshow source. "We can't use that folder so it was removed". Hmmm. Ok, let me add it to 'Documents' instead. Same issue. Hmmm, ok.... I hate it, but let me move it under
- ok, it accepted it, sweet. Lock the screen, not showing anything... Hmmm ok, google it. Apparently it fails silently when it needs permissions. Hmmm, Ok... workaround is to select 'Photo' mode instead of slideshow mode, lock the screen. Ok, shows the photo. Ok, now go back to slideshow mode and it should work.Wrong place for this rant I know but windows just seems progressively shittier over the years, if that's even possible.
I truly hate modern windows but this isn't the issue I'd choose to illustrate that. I recently installed Fedora for a few weeks and one of the first things I wanted to do was change the wallpaper. Turns out there are 3 completely different places you must go to change desktop wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper, and whatever the other one is. Pretty poor design.
I ended up going back to windows because there were laptop-related functions that I just could not get to work on Fedora.

This is what you get when your modules are written by low bid HS grads in a warehouse in India

I've reached redirect loops on all Microsoft accounts I've had at school or work... Apparently a very common problem that's existed for years.

“Programmed by man”?
But didnt they say Microsoft was 30% AI code or something like that. -

Don't get me started how bad outlook is, period. I don't get it, it fails so hard at just being an email client.

WTAF. I was sceptical, but I've been using this all week and haven't once had the issue in the OP. Whereas previously I had to log in 2-3 times back to back every morning.
Any idea why this works?

I think the login-redirect system is just broken for ADFS, it feels like it adds all the SSO-logout URLs for all systems you're logged into to the redirect queue when it times your session out.
Which means you'll have to log in enough times to exhaust that queue before it finally reaches the actual system you're trying to log into.But that's just an assumption.
