      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.

        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.

          And when they doesn't work, install a fresh copy of Windows on new hardware in a sperate location within another dimension.

            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.

              It looks like you opened that login form, then logged out “from all devices” on another tab, and then continued the login.

                  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 ”blocks 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^$document
                    

                    This will prevent any requests from redirecting you to log out, timeouts etc will still invalidate your session.

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

                              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).

                                  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.
