I registered and used my Microsoft 365 account. When I try to go to use Azure I get a page with this error. I tried self diags and they are all fine. I'm lost.

Sign-in failed

Error code: post_request_failed

Error message: post_request_failed: See https://aka.ms/msal.js.errors#post_request_failed for details

    Try the Azure sign-in troubleshooting steps first, because this error can be caused by browser session or cached sign-in state issues:

    1. Refresh the page.
    2. Try a different browser.
    3. Use private browsing mode:
      • Edge: Settings → New InPrivate window, then sign in to the Azure portal.
      • Chrome: Incognito mode.
      • Safari: File → New Private Window.
    4. Clear browser cache and cookies:
      • Edge: Settings → Privacy and Services → Clear Browsing Data. Select Browsing history, Download history, and Cached images and files, then Delete.
      • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data.

    If Azure is automatically signing in with the wrong account, clear cookies and cached data again or use private browsing, then sign in with the intended Microsoft 365 account.

    If the issue continues, create a support request because Azure sign-in issues that persist after browser troubleshooting may require Microsoft support investigation.
