Microsoft's support for multiple accounts is atrocious. I can easily have 5+ Google accounts that I switch between, moving between MS accounts is awful. Additionally MS's free consumer offerings are not competitive with Gmail/Drive IMO.
It's even worse if you have personal and business accounts tied to the same email address - you never know which one you're using, or which you need.

This is awesome! I went 6 times to Microsoft AD’s pricing page and I could never figure out how much it would be! Then I remembered it would be bundled with Azure, which, like any cloud, has the “It’s 0.0062$ per unit of consumption, so sometimes it’s 2€ per month, sometimes it’s 647€, we never know ourselves, good luck!” effect. Has anyone else sometimes avoided a cloud service because the pricing was opaque?
They are much nicer in recent years and are quite transparent with pricing – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compare-micros... See full pdf for all plans: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2139145 Basically if you have a Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise license (E3 or E5 license – which you need if have business people in your company who can't live without Excel on desktop), you get Azure AD Pre…
Last time I checked what was included with Azure AD the activity logging data was where it looked like things could get expensive. Exporting your authentication logs and/or keeping them for more than a week was a premium add-on.

Every time he experi…
If I indeed recall correctly, then that doesn't really make sense. Just force people to make a different, actual personal account, and have them use that.
Interesting (to me) is that the OpenID configuration endpoint provides the tenant ID for not only Commercial tenants but US Government (GCC & GCC-High) as well because the Azure AD portal has relatively new functionality to configure cross-tenant access settings by tenant ID or domain name but Gov tenants require you to obtain the tenant ID from the organization which is either security through obscurity or due to use of some Commercial-only Graph API call.
Bundling is anticompetitive and illegal. The MS ecosystem deserves close antitrust scrutiny.
So in that case are the following “illegal” - Apple One - Microsoft Office - Amazon Prime - Google GSuite - Adobe Creative Cloud - Salesforce bundling SFDC with Concur
Presumably this is the same thing whatismytenantid.com does under the hood.

What I can’t understand is why Azure AD doesn’t have a stronger position in the consumer space. Authentication via Google, Apple, and even still Facebook are nearly always supported on customer-facing logins. I rarely see an option for Microsoft. They have a commanding position in the enterprise. What’s keeping them from crossing those enterprise boundaries?
Do enough people still use consumer Microsoft accounts? Except for myself, it has been a long time since I have encountered a hotmail address or live address or outlook address in the wild. I've gotten career advice several times to get a GMail instead, because Microsoft was considered out of date and backward (not so much anymore).
For Google Workspace, a similar URL is: https://www.google.com/a/example.com/ServiceLogin

I need to always give a password in Jira.
Jira, and the whole of Atlassian Cloud services, bundle SSO as a separate service you pay for. It's called Atlassian Access and it costs $4-$2 depending on number of users, so many companies skip it because it easily doubles your Jira/Confluece costs. sso.tax
