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?

    Guys, you can turn this off in manage.windowsazure.com/; you can also manage other options like two-factor authentication... I for one use this feature as I have password write-back enabled and having the users mobile they can self-service and unlock/reset their own account which is valuable to my firm BUT I do understand people's concerns about not having forced on you.

    it's not even the data gathering aspect that is a concern here - providing personal info to verify an account IS SIMPLY NOT ALLOWED BY MY CO! That's not how enterprises work. I've passed the lack of response here on to premier support, but they never seem to resolve anything either.

    Bump. Still no option to turn this off. Having to click Cancel on every sign in for the 60+ companies we support with Office 365 is getting tiring. Please listen to your enterprise admins here and provide us an option to turn this broken "feature" off.

    I will never provide my personal information to Microsoft. It stinks of data-gathering for commercial purposes.
