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?

    Msft - what are you doing about this? Nothing? Do you understand your customers are going to cancel O365 because  of silly issues like this that are easy to fix?

    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.

    I can now get to the Admin Center but the issue with turning off the "don't lose access to account" screen still exists. I am just not getting stuck on the redirect now.
