Cannot log in with original account
I used to log in here with my personal Microsoft account as HansVogelaar . I have made more than 12,000 posts under that account.
Today, I was suddenly logged out and now Tech Community only lets me log in with my Microsoft 365 account; it refuses to let me specify the account. If I log out, then in again, the site automatically picks the Microsoft 365 account.
How can I log in as HansVogelaar again?
Create a profile in Edge and you're sure to be fine 🙂
Is this the account you're talking about?

Thanks. Yes, that is the account.
But I don't want to switch accounts. I simply want to be able to specify the email address when I log in, as in most forums, and use the one I'd been using since 2018.
Only direct contact with the Admin Team can be appropriate in the 2nd link, there is an email address, it is best to explain it like this.
Best regards
This is weird. On my desktop, I have cleared cookies, rebooted etc., but I can only login using my Microsoft 365 account; there is no way I can select or specify the account to use.
I'm posting this from my laptop. There, I can specify the account:
So I am able to use my personal account on the laptop...
(I emailed admin; no reply yet)
Compare the settings of these computers ,maybe you will find the cause of this problem.

I hope I'll be able to find the difference. I keep the settings the same as much as possible...
- Hah! That's happened to me many times, in various Microsoft products. It's very annoying and I think Microsoft better fix it.
