Signing in on Microsoft
-
I have now a bunch of browser profiles to keep each login separate. The joys of having one Microsoft account, linked to multiple systems, but none of them want to run in the same browser profile at the same time.
the joy of not having any microsoft accounts.
although i still do have to deal with this shit every day for other people. the 'best' ones are those with only a voice number on their account for a verification, from back before they went sms-only for phone numbers.

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.

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.

Get the container extension for Firefox. It's far superior to using multiple profiles.

So, how do you do that exactly?
-
It looks like you opened that login form, then logged out “from all devices” on another tab, and then continued the login.
Ok, let's catalogue every way to get the OP's interaction sequence...
It also happens when you kept the login form there for too long, or when MS decided you should migrate into another version of the service you were trying to get into. Oh, it also happens when you try to change the Teams organization but it decides to change back for some reason (probably because you clicked at the wrong link).

Microsoft "stay signed in?" screen is the most useless thing ever programmed by man
At work I see that screen at least 5 times a day.

Or if you decided to take too long for your morning coffee break. Or if the planets enter retrograde. Or when it's the 12th millisecond past every third minute since the creation of the universe.

I wish I could just turn it off because clearly it doesn’t respect my choice.

can't, firefox is not a supported browser for my company shitty SSO

The design is very human. All you need to do is close all tabs where a Microsoft service is potentially running, find all the cookies used by Microsoft's domains (there are only like six of them) and delete them, then restart the browser.
"Microsoft works fine. All you need to do is..."
Why can't people try Linux again?

It's a joke.

So was mine.

I honestly don't understand the point of it. At every single job I have or have had, it doesn't seem to do anything and I still have to sign in multiple times a day.

Oh wow. So you just added the /logout endpoint itself or something else?

Good god. I’m so sorry.

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!'

+1. I'm very confused and don't understand what it's supposed to do.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I use containers. This happens even when you have a single active login. And only on outlook specifically, but it's been like this for a while.
Note: in case you (the reader) didn't know, just re-entering outlook to the address br and loading works. Reloading doesn't work. Signing again doesn't work. Not sure if this flow is specific to Firefox.
