I would like to suggest a change on the Community Registration page where a note should be added below the e-mail address box when trying to register with O365 Accounts that "The O365 e-mail address is in the organisation's hands and the account will remain with the organisation even when you leave the organisation.", something like that. I am suggesting this because I have seen a lot of community posts where users want to transfer their profile to another O365/MSA account because they are changing/leaving the organisation but those accounts go into vain just because this website could not transfer that. This note will act as a precaution to likely stop these happenings.

Well, but how would it help?

If i stop working in my organization, I don't have access to my business account!

What I am trying to say is that when a user wants to register with an O365 Account, there should be an alert appearing saying "The O365 e-mail address is in the organisation's hands and the account will remain with the organisation even when you leave the organisation.", something like this. This can make users cautious about what can happen in the future and users may then register with a Microsoft Account reducing the hassle for users and MSFT employees when users office account is going to be deleted by the organisation due to any reason.

It seems to me that such information - maybe not quite the same exists!

I get the pain here but equally we try not to over complicate the sign up form. I will consider this for the next time we make changes to the registration form. I am going to change the status to planned.
