Microsoft statement – January 11, 2019

We’re updating the Office 365 login page with new sign-in options that will enable user access to their personal accounts. We’ll begin rolling this feature update out in mid-February, 2019.

Major update: General Availability rollout started
Applied to: All customers

 

[How does this affect me?]
After this change takes place, when signing into Office, your users will see a new link that says “Sign-in options” on the Office 365 login page. Clicking on this link will bring the user to a new screen that will show additional login options that only work for personal Microsoft account users. Moreover, users will be warned that signing in via additional options will only enable personal account access. These options will not be enabled for users in Office 365 tenants and will not change how Office 365 users sign-in to their work or school resources.

Initially, users will be able to use their GitHub account credentials to sign-in. If you have not granted your users access to GitHub, they will not be able to sign-in using their GitHub credentials. Over the coming months, LinkedIn and other sign-in options will be added.

 

We’ll begin gradually rolling this out in mid-February, and we anticipate roll out completion worldwide by the end of February 2019.

 

[What do I need to do to prepare for this change?]
You don’t need to do anything, but may consider updating your user training, and notifying your helpdesk.
