The issue was officially acknowledged by the company’s Microsoft 365 Status account on X (formerly Twitter) on June 1, 2026. The company’s official statement read: “We’re investigating an issue where some users may be unable to setup MFA or access the mysignins.microsoft.com website.” Microsoft has directed affected organizations to reference incident tracking code MO1329260 in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center for real-time updates and remediation guidance.

The mysignins.microsoft.com portal allows end users to manage their authentication methods, review recent sign-in activity, and configure security info without requiring IT helpdesk intervention. Disruption to this service can create bottlenecks in onboarding workflows, account recovery processes, and security policy enforcement. Organizations enforcing Conditional Access policies that require MFA registration may find new or existing users temporarily locked out of Microsoft 365 services as a downstream effect of this outage.

The company routinely publishes post-incident reviews for significant service disruptions, which are made available through the Admin Center after resolution. Administrators and security teams are advised to stay on alert, as outages affecting MFA infrastructure can create temporary security gaps if not properly managed.
