Account has been blocked error when sign in to Microsoft 365 - Office 365 | Microsoft Learn[^2^]

Users who do not use their Microsoft account frequently, risks, that Microsoft locks services such as OneDrive or freeze them. Then a user isn't able to access his OneDrive files for 24 hours. I accidentally run yesterday under Windows 7 into this problem. And I was facing suddenly a second problem, a missing OneDrive logoff option in the browser. Maybe it's all well known and just me didn't know that. But I will publish the info here, if someone else is confronted with the problem.

Yesterday I intended to register me for a test an online service of a third party provider. I 've planned to use on of my Microsoft accounts e-mail address to register me for the service. Because I was unsure whether the third party provider would send a confirmation email to the specified email account, I used a browser to quickly logged in to the Outlook account and left the window open. Because there was never a confirmation mail has been received, I closed the browser window after a while, without log out of the Microsoft account.

A couple of hours later, I was in need to upload a couple of files to my OneDrive storage. So I opened a browser window and typed onedrive.com into the address bar. The browser will redirects me either to live[dot].com for login, or to the OneDrive windows of the current Microsoft account.

Suddenly I got a message within the browser that my OneDrive account has been 'frozen' by Microsoft. My first thought was, that I might have been redirected to a phishing or malware site. So I checked the URL, but the message was from Microsoft and told me, that my Microsoft OneDrive account has been frozen and OneDrive refused access (I have had access to the mailbox associated to the same Microsoft account hours earlier).

I failed badly to quickly logo off from the frozen account and login to the planned account for upload. The OneDrive's browser page didn't show that damn logoff feature (the upper bar within the browser window shown in the above screenshot is empty and black).

My first idea was to use another browser to log in to the second Microsoft account and upload the files. Then I decided to try another workaround. I shortened the URL onedrive.live.com/?id=xxx to live.com/? id=xxx. The Outlook Mail window appeared within the browser and I was able to log out again.

[German]I have frequently reported here on the sudden blocking of online accounts with American cloud providers (Apple, Google, and especially Microsoft). Just now, a case is boiling up in the USA, where Google blocked an account because of uploaded "nude photos" and notified the police on suspicion of child abuse. Then, of course, there was the full program of the police for the person concerned. The only "offense": He had taken a photo of his naked infant for the attending physician via smartphone. The automatic cloud upload and a stupid AI then caused the drastic consequences.

When you try to sign in to a Microsoft cloud service such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, or Microsoft Intune by using a federated account, you receive a certificate warning from the AD FS web service in your browser.

This security setting determines whether to audit each instance of a user logging on to or logging off from another computer in which this computer is used to validate the account. Account logon events are generated when a domain user account is authenticated on a domain controller. The event is logged in the domain controller's security log. Logon events are generated when a local user is authenticated on a local computer. The event is logged in the local security log. Account logoff events are not generated.

Yes, that's Microsoft Office, now allowing you to create documents in the Chrome browser right from the toolbar, which you can then edit and save at Office.com. It works for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Sway Online, via storage on your Microsoft OneDrive account. No need to have the full Office suite installed. 2ff7e9595c
