New user experience for consumer authentication
Deleted Thanks! Yes, passwords still work for consumer Microsoft accounts that have them.
no, it doesn't work. i remember all the passwords and i got this problem. it is really annoying.
because what happens, first i want to access to my local files that has been shared by a different account that i used for ONEDRIVE, but I CANNOT because nowadys, onedrive does not support local files and it redirects you to EXPLORER (EDGE OR CHROME) like this:
then when i want to enter on the explorer, it asks me for password, i enter password and i get this result:
then i go back, and tell another way of access (the only one that i suposse to have is to send me a code to the same email of the address that is linked to onedrive).
then i want to access to the email and it is the same result. the same. you can't access because it asks you to send a code to the email of backup of that account. HORRIBLE.
or you just don't receive the email. it is stupid. i cannot access due to these problems.

Still, passkeys are no better. At least an email adress is accessible. Passkeys require you to have your phone around when you try to log into a PC.
