    Hi @Yogesh Bagga

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. I completely understand how frustrating this issue can be, and I want you to know that I’m here to support you. 

    Based on my research, the error AADSTS900561 typically occurs when the authentication request is sent using the wrong HTTP method. Azure AD requires POST requests to process tokens and sensitive credentials, but in this case, it received a GET request instead. One of the most common causes is that your browser may be blocking third-party cookies, which are essential for the authentication flow to complete successfully. Another possibility is that your browser’s cache or cookies are outdated, which can interfere with session data and lead to unexpected behavior. Sometimes, certain browser extensions might also disrupt the authentication process. 

    Here are some steps you can try: 

    1.Enable third-party cookies 

    Could you please let us know which browser you're currently using? Here's how to allow third-party cookies for Chrome and Edge: 

    • Chrome:  Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies > Select Allow third-party cookies 

    User's image

    • Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies > Turn off Block third-party cookies User's image

    Note: If you are using other browser, please comment to let me know.

    2.Clear browser cache and cookies 

    • Clear all cached data and cookies from your browser. 
    • Alternatively, try accessing the site using Incognito/InPrivate mode

    3.Add login URLs to Trusted Sites

    4.Try a different browser or device: This can help determine if the issue is browser-specific.

    Appreciate your prompt response with workaround. Enabling third party cookies and adding https://login.microsoftonline.com to trusted sites resolved the issue. Thank you.
