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?

    Correct, everyone has Azure (it is wrapped around the MSOL DB where all of our identity information is stored), that is the identity management portion of O365, we all have it.  And thanks for the info (@Tarran and @Niklas Fritz) about what to search for and all.  I checked for the group in Azure AD but didn't find any even close to that name (or portions of that name).  Also users enabled for password reset was already set to NO (since we only use on-prem AD and SSO for auth).

    This happened to us a few months ago so I complained about it then and it was resolved at the time (within a couple of days of complaining).  I noted back then that there was an "Identity portal" outage in O365 at the time it was resolved.  I gather that the "outage" was to undo portal code so that this "feature" wouldn't keep popping up.  I also gathered that the code implementation change was impacting me because I am part of the Early Release thing that MS has.

    My own two cents…for us (admins), the problem is that MS doesn't take this stuff very seriously.  And we Admins are the ones that need to support O365 on the front lines and we are the ones that recommend (or don't recommend) O365 to other people.  Common cents would think that if MS wants to increase their O365 presence then they would understand that aspect of it.  Just because they put Enterprise in the licensing name doesn’t mean that they are offering an Enterprise product.  Things like this give O365 (and MS) a bad name within the admin community.  And just like VISTA flopped because the admin community didn’t adopt VISTA, O365 can do that to in a turn of a dime.  MS should wake up and listen to what the O365 Admins need.

    I have no access to Azure - is this being turned off or not? My co is ready to cancel 7500 licenses if not.

    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?

    Unless you are the member of an organization with hundreds of thousands of users Microsoft is unlikely to listen to you, especially since you are not on the Executive level of your company.

    Places that can get some traction is by going to UserVoice and submitting a suggestion. I would recommend that you make it a thoughtful suggestion and not a rant as rants are typically ignored. 

    Another place you can try is the IT Pro Network on Yammer. Again, thoughtful, not rant.
