Upcoming improvements to the Azure AD sign-in experience
I think it is a travesty about how much hassle we have to go through on a home networked business computer to login every single time. We are presented with screens that show the show the login for a moment at the password screen then show the actual password dots. When the software logs us out, I then have to retype in the MS login web address to get back to a login screen. This is for a home network business computer, running Windows 10 pro and windows server 2012 on our server. You are making us do more and more work to login not less. I understand the security concerns but all of this with the login screen is just rubbish and a waste of time. The threat such as it is is internet based. It is not local in my office. I understand logging out after the computer is unused for a period of time, but it should be a reasonable time, so as to prevent someone from breaking in to our home when away and then trying to log in to the computer. Please think about sharing these changes with end users first to get their opinion before rolling this out. Did you ever thing about asking us via a survey what we think as end users. The user experience is not great and is getting worse. The changes proposed look like they are going to impose an even greater work burden on end users before being able to do usable work. The Office login now brings us to the MS office home not the outlook mail page, which is what we want. We then have to click on outlook and then wait for another tab to load. Once that tab loads, it now takes another minute before being able to see the actual text of emails not just the subject line and the sender. With each iteration this becomes more of a pain to login. Sooner or later someone is going to come in and design a clean fresh secure office interface as a layer over MS Office or even a replacement for it, and people will pay money for that just to avoid all of the hassles that you are now creating for them. Even with fast connections the Office 365 apps load slower than desktop versions. You are straying far away from meeting user needs.
