Web-signin 3rd party IDP not working
We have a working Entra ID SAML federation to a third-party IdP that uses FIDO2/WebAuthn (IdP as Relying Party) for browser sign-in, and we are trying to use the same federation through Windows Web sign-in on an Entra-joined Windows 11 device — but the IdP page loads blank in the WebView and Microsoft-Windows-WebAuthN/Operational records zero events, while the same security key works fine for FIDO2 sign-in with login.microsoft.com as RP on the same device. Questions: - Is WebAuthn brokering to third-party Relying Parties inside the Web sign-in WebView supported? - If not, is it on the roadmap? - What is the supported architectural path for delivering passwordless Windows sign-in using a federated IdP's own FIDO2/WebAuthn credentials, given Graph API passkey provisioning is Beta-only?
How to target Azure VPN (Microsoft-Registered) app with Conditional Access Policies?
I have an Azure Point-to-Site VPN Gateway configured using the Microsoft-registered Azure VPN Client App ID (Audience value: c632b3df-fb67-4d84-bdcf-b95ad541b5c8). Everything is working correctly for our users. The issue I am having is that anyone with an Entra account can connect to the VPN and I want to restrict this with a blocking Conditional access policy. I do not want to create a custom app registration, because then I will have to change the 'audience' value on the app gateway and all user's will need to modify their VPN clients. The problem is I need to target the Microsoft-registered Azure VPN app in a Conditional Access policy but it does not appear in my Enterprise Applications list or in the CA app picker when searching. My questions: Why does the Microsoft-registered app not automatically create a service principal in my tenant the way other Microsoft apps do? Is there a supported way to make it appear in the CA app picker without creating a custom app registration or changing the gateway Audience value? Has anyone successfully targeted c632b3df-fb67-4d84-bdcf-b95ad541b5c8 in a CA policy while keeping it as the gateway Audience value? Thanks for the assistance hereBroken Account Recovery (discontinued product)
Hello everyone, We have the MSFT Office Family plan which has the now discontinued custom domain support that used to be an option as a "Premium" feature. Back in August we upgraded the phone of one of the account members on the family plan and lost connection to their MS Office account with the only device that was accessing to the account (the phone with access was reset as part of the upgrade/trade in process). I have tried the account recovery form and it simply doesn't work. I have tried to explain to MSFT support that the tool is broken but can't get anywhere. For the account in question we have an Outlook email client (with non working password) that has a cache of all of the email until loss of access occurred. So when I do the account recovery form, I have name, DOB, region, past passwords and data for all fields including sent email Id's and send subjects, But every time the MSFT recovery mechanism says "Unfortunately, we have determined that the information provided was not sufficient...". WTF. Every time I contact MSFT support I get the same answer, an explanation of the point system used to reset the the account. Same steps to recover....based on this, the recovery should work...yet it doesn't. I have tried somewhere 50+ attempts now over the last 9 months. I even have a contact who is VP level at MSFT who sponsored a support ticket internally but that just ended up with the support person sending me a link to the account recovery form and closed the ticket without looking in the details of the ticket. I can't modify / add a new account as MSFT has as a discontinued product no longer allow members to add/change id's. So I'm locked at the current user set. I have created another email address by saving the cached data to OLM file and importing via the Outlook client but that doesn't restore use of the @mydomain.com for that person. I even retained a lawyer who send a demand to MSFT legal...but the email address didn't go anywhere so at the point of needing to do this on headed paper/send via snail mail. Does anyone have any idea how to get through to MSFT explain the recovery tool is broken? I assume there are so few accounts using custom domains pin family plans that they simply don't test this recovery path. At this point without some internal guidance is a) lawyer and force a demand for password reset b) give up, ditch all of the users using the custom domain, configure an alias for all of the accounts and then change my MX record to a company doing email forwarding and then forward to the new/old legacy accounts (i.e. the ones with the mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons).
Login Catch-22: locked out of Work account due to MFA mismatch.
"I am the owner of the domain mydomain.be, registered at one.com. I have a Microsoft 365 Business Premium subscription. I am locked out of my work/school tenant admin account (mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons) due to an MFA issue — the Microsoft Authenticator is configured but not delivering push notifications, and the TOTP code length does not match what the login screen expects. I cannot access the admin center. I need to recover Global Admin access to my flavo.be tenant so I can manage users and licenses. I can prove domain ownership via DNS if required.
Hotmail to Outlook Migration Broke My Account
A year or two ago, I updated my Microsoft account to try and migrate from hotmail.com to @outlook.com. Since then, my Microsoft account is broken. I log in with my @outlook.com email, but account.microsoft.com displays my hotmail.com email everywhere. Mobile apps will not stay logged in properly and kick me out after a day. On my account info page my @outlook.com email isn't even listed and hotmail.com is listed as primary, but only logging in with @outlook works. I'm pretty sure when I originally tried to migrate my account some exception wasn't handled properly part way through the process and my account is in some sort of database limbo. Is there anyone at Microsoft here that can help with this? Also, sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but a call with Microsoft support pointed me here and there doesn't seem to be a "Microsoft Account Support" hub or space on this platform. If anyone knows of a better location feel free to suggest that as well. Thanks!Microsoft Feedback Portal account is not working
I changed my Microsoft password a year ago, and it updated everywhere other than the Feedback Portal. As a result, I get an error when I try to login, or do anything on the page. Microsoft account support's suggestion was to login to the Feedback Portal which is insane given I'm having issues accessing it. How can I get this issue resolved? I've got three separate support tickets now and they keep asking me to wait 24 hours to get the issue resolved. Can someone from the Feedback Portal team please contact me to resolve this?" This is what Microsoft Support have said: "understand your frustration, and yes—this is an account‑related issue because the Feedback Portal is still tied to your old alias, which causes login conflicts and forces you out. Your Microsoft account itself signs in correctly, but the Feedback Portal is pulling outdated identity data that you cannot update on your own. Since you cannot access the Portal to submit feedback, directing you back there is not a workable solution. What you need is for Support to escalate this to the internal Identity/Feedback Platform engineering team so they can manually correct the outdated alias mapping on the backend. In this situation, the Feedback Portal and Tech Community teams are the ones who manage and maintain that specific platform. Because the issue appears on the Feedback Portal side—even though your Microsoft account is working normally—only their dedicated team can make the necessary corrections on their end. That’s why we are guiding you to connect with them through the links provided: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/ or https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback. They will be able to review the portal‑specific account data and assist you further. I understand why this is frustrating. Since you’re unable to stay signed in to the Feedback Portal, I completely see why posting there isn’t possible for you. However, I do need to be transparent: I’m not able to escalate this issue directly to the Feedback Portal team, as they don’t provide internal escalation channels for us and only accept requests through their own platform. "How Do I Target the Azure VPN Client in a Conditional Access Policy?
I am using the Azure VPN Client to connect users to an Azure VPN Gateway using their Entra ID credentials to authenticate. I want to target this application with a CA policy that requires MFA every time it connects. The problem is that I don't see the applications in my Enterprise Apps and all of my searching says that it won't appear because it was "pre-certified" by Microsoft. In the Gateway setup I used the Audience GUID of c632b3df-fb67-4d84-bdcf-b95ad541b5c8. And this is working as expected. The only solution that I have found for targeting the Azure VPN Client app is to create a Service Principal using that Audience GUID. This seems like a bit of a hack, so I am posting here to see if there are any other methods that I am missing to target this app when it doesn't appear in my Enterprise Apps list.Hacked Live account
Hello, On of our customers accounts was hacked. This is a Live account linked to his own emailadres (not hotmail) from his Internet Provider. A few weeks ago someone gained access to this account. They changed the recovery email address and the phone number. The customer has a paid Office 36 family account, which is paid for with his MasterCard and he can provide the invoice from the last years.. We tried the account recovery Form multiple times, opened a case with CDOC Case Management. We simply got the reply that they could not do anything but to suspend the account. I Think this is crazy, is there no solution to this ? Thanks,
