What is Microsoft Single Sign On?
Windows Accounts is an easy-to-use Chrome extension designed to facilitate the process of logging into supported websites. It uses your Microsoft supported identity from Windows 10 or later versions to automatically sign you in. This feature is particularly useful for organizations that have implemented conditional access policy. Moreover, this extension currently offers support for Azure Active Directory identities, providing a seamless connection to this popular directory service.

Summary

Use this extension to sign in to supported websites with Microsoft work or school accounts on Windows (10 and later versions) or macOS (11 and later versions). If you have a Microsoft Entra ID on your Windows or macOS computer, this extension enables improved Single Sign On for supported websites. You may still see additional authentication prompts like multi-factor verification depending on the access requirements for various applications, resources, and organizations.

This extension is required for certain device-based conditional access policies for Microsoft Entra ID. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-conditional-access-conditions#supported-browsers

For macOS, this extension requires the device to be managed and requires the additional installation of Company Portal: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/user-help/enroll-your-device-in-intune-macos-cp

Note: If you are experiencing difficulties with signing in or accessing resources, it could be related to your organization’s device policies. Please submit a support ticket directly to Microsoft through your tenant’s subscription. The developer email address for the extension is not an avenue for customer support.

Infuriating and highly hindering my productivity. More than half of the tools I need to use for my job don't allow me to access them due to this plugin. Authentication works, everything is updated, this is a recent problem probably so please fix this asap! thanks
