Stop the "don't lose access to your account" nonsense.

I'm prevented from logging in by a "set it up now" button on the generic log in page (using IE10). Like any security conscious enterprise, my company manages my passwords and isn't interested in this "nanny state" option. How do I bypass it?

    Good idea - when the ceo of my S&P 500 company asks me why Msft is requesting his cell phone number, I'll just tell him to go to uservoice. We all know how quickly Msft responds to that useless resource...

    I'm seeing the message again so nothing has been done to fix it IN 6 MONTHS despite numerous requests not to mention the utter absurdity of it being allowed to happen in the first place. I can cancel out of it now but it's very confusing to users and should never be seen (unless it's requested by the customer). As usual, Msft pays no attention to their paying customers.

    What about this doesn't Msft understand?

    <some information has been removed by moderator>

    here the solution:

    go to manage.windowsazure.com -> Active Directory -> Groups

    search  "SSPRSecurityGroupUsers" you might see now TWO Groups with the same name - BUT WHY?? I think a MS Intern added a second group just to get on my nerves.

    Delete this groups out of your Portal

    now go to manage.windowsazure.com -> Active Directory -> Configure

    set the "Users enabled for password reset" Button to "NO" and save it.

    Baaaammmm, now it works.

    Maybe you can honour me with creating a own KB Site with my name

    Thanks

    Issue still remains. We have the same issue - it is only happening upon login on the admin accounts. We have a number of administrator account so we don't need this nanny-state option.

    Please advise how we can turn this option off permanently. Please do not say that the only way to get around this is to input an incorrect phone number, completely compromising the account... I would have expected better from Microsoft.

    Hi Mchv2.0,

    I understand this prompt is annoying if it pops up every time. To look into the issue better, please provide the information I requested above since this is important to us.

    Besides, please confirm the following points:

    1. Does the prompt still pop up after you type the mobile number and email address?
    2. Have you enabled self password reset in your tenant?
    3. Please provide the screenshots of "set it up now" and "don't lose access to your account" page.

    Thanks for your cooperation.

    James
