Hi all, I passed and received an Azure certification last summer, and was awarded the certification through Credly. However, since Microsoft was removing Credly as a service sometime soon after, I was unable to transfer the certification to my Microsoft Learn account. How do I do that?

Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that helps secure cryptographic keys, secrets (such as API keys, passwords, certificates), and manage encryption keys for cloud applications. It provides a centralized, secure storage mechanism that enables fine-grained access control and compliance with security best practices. Key features of Azure Key Vault include: Secure Secret Storage: Protects sensitive application data by storing them in a secure vault, reducing exposure risks. Access Control with Azure AD: Uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication to control access, ensuring only authorized applications and users can retrieve secrets. Automated Key Rotation: Supports automatic rotation of keys and certificates, minimizing security risks from stale credentials. Encryption Key Management: Allows applications to use Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) or software-based keys for encrypting and decrypting data. Logging and Monitoring: Integrates with Azure Monitor and Microsoft Defender for Cloud to track usage and detect anomalies. By using Azure Key Vault, organizations can enhance security, reduce the need for embedding secrets in code, and simplify the management of cryptographic assets across their cloud environments.Aashima2341Mar 17, 2025Copper Contributor59Views0likes1CommentQuery regarding linking Work Account with Personal Account
Hey there! So my question is very simple and before I ask it, I'll just summarize everything. I'm a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador and I've been provided an email from MLSA team. Now that email is considered to be a work account. I'll lose access to that email when my MLSA tenure ends which is around one year from now onwards. Now I've another personal outlook account on which I've a certification. I wanted to show my personal account certifications on my work account as data on the work account is considered as a progress in the MLSA tenure. So my question is when MLSA tenure ends and my email gets shut down automatically will I be able to recover the certifications and all the data on my personal account? Thanks!rajatrajputdevMar 16, 2025Copper Contributor39Views0likes1CommentUnsuccessful Login Attempts & Account Security
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing repeated unsuccessful login attempts from different IP addresses? I've received multiple emails about suspicious login activity on my account, and when I check my security logs, I see multiple failed attempts from different cities around the world. My Spotify account that is linked to outlook email was recently hacked. When I contacted Microsoft outlook support, they mentioned that other users have reported similar incidents. I’ve already set up 2FA and changed my passwords on all linked accounts, but I’m still concerned about my account security. Has anyone else faced this issue? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.ProtonPantsMar 15, 2025Copper Contributor17Views0likes0CommentsWhich MS Office is most suitable for me and my family?
Hi I’ve just splashed out on an iMAC and I would like to pay a one-off fee for my family to use Office. I need Office for PowerPoint and Word mostly plus Outlook (but that’s a bit complicated - see below). 3 questions - 1) are there different versions of Office for Apple vs PC products? 2) which is the most up to date version I can get of Office? (Based UK). 3) I’m seeing so much conflicting information - are immediate downloads online ok? (Worried about system corruption which is why I bought Apple in the first place) Just to complicate “slightly” - I have an Outlook account through work, plus my kids have school Outlook accounts. My kids’ accounts have been automatically deleted from my work Outlook (I think due to new security). Can I keep my work Outlook on my iPAD or will this automatically migrate to my new iMAC and therefore I can only access my work Outlook? I want to keep my work Outlook on my iPAD, and for me / my kids to have access to their Outlook on my iMAC. Hope that makes sense. I’m not techy, please be kind!StrubidooMar 14, 2025Copper Contributor8Views0likes0CommentsLost in Employment Verification
Long story short: Our app needs to connect to Bing Ads API via OAuth. The OAuth UI tells us to get verified as a publisher. We follow the steps to do that and I find myself in some strange situation where at Employment Verification step there is no way to proceed nor any way to get any answers. It's not even clear to me if we really need to do this verification, since the app seems to work fine without. We've provided a domain invoice (Cloudflare) including: Domain name Exact company name My name Exact company address Dated within 12 months I have used "Fix Now" (exhausted my goes at that), and I've then been back and forth with a real person (who seems to only send half filled out email templates) for the past weeks too. The last time I tried to do the ultimate helpful email with all the info laid out in the most obvious and clear way possible with 3 email attachments with all the requested info and more, I wait a week and I get back: Issues with employment verification rejection a... - TrackingID#2501140040006597 Anjali S 04:49 (4 hours ago) to me Dear , This application is insufficient for the requirements of the program. Thank you, Vetting Operations Support I never received any further information or assistance in any of the prior emails, I'm 100% in the dark. Can anyone help me with these questions? Do I need to be a verified publisher for my use case? I just don't want an "unverified" to show on OAuth consent screen. What exactly is employment verification and what is the magic formula to get past this step. Why can a $3.3T market cap company not manage to provide basic customer service and communication. Thanks for reading and really hope I can get some help. John.jmj1Mar 13, 2025Copper Contributor100Views0likes5CommentsMeet the Microsoft Learn experts

Hello Microsoft Learn Community, I recently acquired the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop, equipped with an AMD Ryzen™ 5 7530U processor, 16 GB of LPDDR4x memory, and a 512 GB SSD. Its 360-degree hinge and touch-enabled WUXGA display have been particularly beneficial for interactive learning sessions. While navigating Microsoft Learn's interactive modules, the laptop's performance has been commendable. The touch functionality enhances the experience, especially during coding exercises and interactive labs. However, I've observed that certain high-resolution videos and complex simulations occasionally cause minor lags. I am reaching out to gather insights from fellow community members: Performance Optimization: Are there specific settings or configurations within Microsoft Learn that can enhance performance on devices like the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8? Resource Management: Would upgrading to a higher RAM variant or adjusting system settings provide a smoother experience during resource-intensive modules? Browser Compatibility: Have users noticed performance differences between browsers (e.g., Edge, Chrome) when accessing Microsoft Learn on similar hardware? Additionally, I came across Microsoft's initiative of Learning Rooms, which offer collaborative environments guided by experts. Has anyone utilized these rooms on the Ideapad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop? I'm curious about the device's compatibility and performance in such settings. Looking forward to your experiences and recommendations. Best regards, Alice Carry13Views0likes0Comments
