Microsoft Monetize - September 23, 2025 - Unified Sign-In with Microsoft account

Starting October 20, 2025, username/password logins in Microsoft Monetize will be retired. All users must sign in with a Microsoft account. This update ensures a consistent and extensible login experience that aligns with Microsoft’s broader security standards and supports current and future business needs.

Historically, the platform supported two login methods:

  • a local username/password option and Microsoft account sign-in.
  • Maintaining parallel login flows introduced complexity and increased operational overhead, while legacy username/password logins carried higher security risks and compliance challenges.

With this update, Microsoft Monetize adopts a unified sign-in approach, delivering:

  • Simplified access through a single, streamlined login entry point.
  • Improved security by reducing risks associated with legacy credentials.
  • Consistent identity management and permission handling across the Microsoft ecosystem.
  • Enhanced user trust and brand alignment, reflecting modern cloud platform standards.
