It is indeed a giant mess.
If you go to live.com and click on the hamburger icon at the top, then under 'Apps' click on the "To-Do" app, you will be asked to enter the password for your work account, even though you are on live.com, not on office.com, and you are currently logged in with your personal account.
The only way to get past this is to click "use another account" then log in again with your personal account (even though you are already logged in!!).
This bug has been present for months now.
- smashah 4y agoThis is partly because loginHint is broken on microsoft/azure sign in
- dybber 4y agoSame on Gmail. I’m not logged in on my private account as I don’t use it anymore, but it always suggests to log me in on the private account when accessing, even though I am logged in on a corporate account, which is the only one I’m actively using at the moment. Silly.
- ncann 4y agoI don't get your scenario but I have to say I never had any issue with using multiple Google accounts on the same browser. I used to have 5+ accounts logged in at once (personal + work + school) and it always worked flawlessly, switching between accounts was always a breeze using the drop down menu on the top right, and not just for Gmail but any Google apps. Microsoft on the other hand gave me endless issues when trying to use just 1 personal account and 1 work account on the same browser.
- frankfrankfrank 4y agoFirst mistake is using any of the Microsoft knock off services whose primary purpose is to trick “deciders” in the C-suits and in halls of bureaucratic hell that can confirm that the box for things like “to do” functionality is checked on their list. Every single Microsoft service, including email, several decades later, is still deep into subpar.
