I’m unable to access the Microsoft Entra/Azure portal with my Microsoft account because sign-in always redirects to a blocked inactive tenant.

 

Error:

 

interaction_required: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. To learn more about tenant lifecycle policies, see https://aka.ms/TenantLifecycle 

What I tried:

 

  • Signed out via Microsoft logout
  • Closed browser windows
  • Tried private/incognito mode
  • Tried opening both https://entra.microsoft.com/ and https://portal.azure.com/
  • Tried direct tenant creation links

 

Result:

 

Every attempt routes me back to the same sign-in failure page before I can access the portal, switch directories, create a new tenant, or register an app.
