Links for Microsoft Online services

Here are some of the great Azure AD tools needed once in a while, but you keep forgetting:

Account portals

Microsoft 365 portals

Azure portals

Health or Status portals

Other portals

If you are using these links in an organization with SSO enabled, you may need to use the links in an “InPrivate/Incognito ” session, to be able to use the correct user identity.
