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?

    We've been receiving these nag messages as well starting this week. We've been clicking the "cancel" link at the bottom of the page to get past them. We also use ADFS and directory sync, so all these password changes would be initiated by us on-premises. Not everyone wants their cell number in the corporate directory just to make a nag screen go away.

    It's an ill conceived idea that wasn't thought through properly. It's also low hanging fruit in Msft's efforts to defend its much maligned product.

    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.
