CloudExtend and Microsoft Accounts
Certain CloudExtend subscriptions include access to an admin portal (https://portal.cloudextend.app/) where administrators can manage end-user licenses, Autopilot settings, and product configurations.
To keep this experience secure and seamless, CloudExtend requires admins to sign in using their Microsoft ID.

This removes the need for yet another password and ensures authentication remains consistent with your organization's Microsoft 365 environment.
What Is a Microsoft ID?
A Microsoft ID is an email associated with a Microsoft Account or Microsoft 36 account. It's similar to a Google Account and lets you manage everything all in one place.
Examples of Microsoft IDs:
