my morning work routine includes cursing out microsoft
don’t get me started how bad outlook is in ff despite using about 1gb of ram
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
This is what you get when your modules are written by low bid HS grads in a warehouse in India
The only company that hasn’t yet managed to build a successful sign-in.
Once I had our Outlook Web at work get stuck in a redirect loop until I went into the MSFT admin panel and gave the affected accounts a extra permission they never needed before.
Fucking Redirect Loop. They’re so dogshit at this it loops back to being funny.
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.
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
😂
Microsoft “stay signed in?” screen is the most useless thing ever programmed by man
In a work environment I can only assume they just leave that box in the flow but the actual session duration limit is set by your IT policy.
What annoys me endlessly that i have to interact with the system so much to log in multiple times for various platforms:
- Email - fill if not on mobile - confirm
- Password - hope to god its prefilled - confirm
- MFA - enter - confirm
- Stay signed in - check useless dont ask again checkbox - confirm
People are saying passkeys are not a good solution, but I would take those immediately over this nonsense
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.
+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
At work I see that screen at least 5 times a day.
I wish I could just turn it off because clearly it doesn’t respect my choice.
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 c: - 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.

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.
And when they doesn’t work, install a fresh copy of Windows on new hardware in a sperate location within another dimension.
“Microsoft works fine. All you need to do is…”
Why can’t people try Linux again?
It’s a joke.
So was mine.
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.
Oh, do share.
Oh wow. So you just added the /logout endpoint itself or something else?
So, how do you do that exactly?
LPT
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.

Get the container extension for Firefox. It’s far superior to using multiple profiles.
can’t, firefox is not a supported browser for my company shitty SSO
Good god. I’m so sorry.
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.
It looks like you opened that login form, then logged out “from all devices” on another tab, and then continued the login.
No, I have regularly the same experience on my own Linux laptop when I want to log in to check emails on Outlook Web. It has to do with left over cookies, because from a private window it works. It’s simple incompetence from Microsoft not being able to handle this.
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.
