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?

    Responded to your private message. Can't see what investigation is really needed - just don't show the nag screen for accounts that sign on using ADFS SSO.

    For what it's worth, I didn't do anything and the problem went away. I can only assume enough people complained that Msft fixed something on their end. That it was allowed to happen in the first place is a severe indictment of Msft's complete disconnection from their customers and lack of understanding of the real world.. And if it happens again I've been advised Msft can expect 7500 cancelled accounts.

    Hi James,

    I would like to request a private message from you for inclusion in your investigations. I am a global admin for a tenancy that is also being affected by this concern.

    Thank you,

    Josh
