Hot Take:

Microsoft’s at it again, folks! Just when you thought it was safe to reset your password or add a new authentication method, the tech giant hits us with another round of “Oops, we did it again!” Seems like Microsoft 365’s new slogan should be “Now you see me, now you don’t!” as users across multiple continents struggle to perform basic tasks. It’s a classic case of “If it ain’t broke, let’s fix it until it is!”

  • Microsoft 365 users are facing issues with authentication features, thanks to a recent change.
  • The problem affects self-service password resets and adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods.
  • Temporary fixes are in place, but a long-term solution is still in the works.
