Sometimes, even a tech giant like Microsoft can find themselves between a rock and a hard space.A few weeks ago, the Azure team switched up the branding logic for its Azure Active Directory login pages. But that didn’t sit too hot with the consumers.

Employers and employees that encountered the updated login were finding themselves less efficient as a result of miscommunication. Even though the proposed changes were meant to make it easier for employees and B2B guests what they were signing into, it seems the plan backfired. With what some called a ‘sudden change’, many were confused and even frustrated enough to leave their two-cents for Microsoft.

As a response, the Azure team is rolling back the changes to the Azure AD login page. Alex Simons explained in the announcement that they will be revisiting the plan to inform and communicate changes like these in the futures. It seems the team is taking this commitment to interacting with the feedback seriously too. Program Manager Ariel Gordon even listed off ways that the team will be adjusting for futureAzure AD releases that will affect businesses.

No doubt we’ll see a revamped version of this login update later down the line. As pointed out int the blog post, this was also a step to mainstream Azure AD with Microsoft accounts. At least this time, everyone will be expecting it.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
