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?

    Hi Mchv2.0,

    There is no method to disable all the alerts in Office 365. Some alerts can remind us some important incidents which require us to check, for example a subscription is expiring/cancelled or fix domain issue, and these alerts should only show up on the admin center page. If so, this is an expected behavior, we can only minimize the alerts.

    Appreciate your understanding,

    James

    Hi Mchv2.0,

    If you’d like to avoid the alerts, you can enter the mobile number at the local Active Directory and sync to Office 365 as mentioned in previous post. If you don’t want to set mobile phone number for privacy/safety concerns, you can set any number instead to stop the alerts.

    Regards,

    Ryan

    I don't think you're understanding this - my company manages passwords and we don't want Msft involved. Please just tell me how to deactivate the alerts.

    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
