this is a rant about microsoft
how on the fucking earth are you the biggest company and have hands down the worst login imaginable. you know for a fact people have multiple accounts for your platform, it's incredibly common to have a work specific micorosoft account after all. AND YET you lock in a specific email for login??? and you don't even put a bloody "i'd like to log in with a different email"???? oh there's a "use a different login method" button it's all okay right? wrong that button still doesn't let you change the login email! but now you can log in with a code sent to it :).
what if that """""convenience"""" you're trying to give people by checks notes, not including an incredibly common button that takes you to the default login page without a specific email baked into it, is actually an impossible pain in the ass? what if that email is someone else's and then just hit the "remember me" out of habit? go fuck yourself :). go into the browser setting and manually delete the cookies or if you can't or don't know how to do that then just fuck yourself :)
not to even fucking mention how if you try to log into teams desktop client app that info is going to get fucking applied to the entire windows account??? without asking about it clearly either it just fucking does that! it just fucking links to your local account instsntly
who asked for that microsoft? what deranged motherfucker in your board of directors came in high off his tits and uttered the cursed phrases needed for those feature to fucking exist?
and is that guy the only one allowed to speak? the only who's vocabulary extends past "great idea! let's do that"?
how is your user account management worse and more annoying than any virus i had?
i literally just needed to log in to someone's account once, for an hour, to substitute for them in one call. and that silly little action has taken fucking hours to undo, and all done with force "how to delete someone else's email from microsoft login"? delete your fucking cookies or team cache. "how to unlink a microsoft account from windows"? don't forget to input your pc password! dw about how we didn't ask for it when we just linked it to your local account, you need it now :) oh and unlinking isn't removing, you gotta do that one too!
there has been genuinely nothing else in the past decade that has made me more frustrated, more fucking seething with anger, than dealing with the fallout of needing to use someone else's microsoft account for an hour
Do you want to save this account for future login?
