Microsoft 365’s authentication experience can involve a bit of typing and clicking for your users (and yourself, especially if you’re juggling multiple accounts). You can simplify this a little using the login_hint
and domain_hint
parameters when hitting the authentication page.
login_hint
allows you to inform the page of the user’s UPN, and;domain_hint
is a more generic approach that allows you to inform the page of the user’s domain. This brands the page appropriately or, if configured, redirects the user to the company’s SSO provider for authentication
Login Hint
https://www.microsoft365.com/login?login_hint=<upn>
If your UPN is [email protected]
you can use the URL:
https://www.microsoft365.com/[email protected]
Domain Hint
https://www.microsoft365.com/login?domain_hint=<domain>
If your domain is contoso.com
you can use the URL:
https://www.microsoft365.com/login?domain_hint=contoso.com
