Regularly uninstalls itself from chrome. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

No frills, but as the IT Admin this helps with SSO. For it to be useful you need to have your laptop on Intune as well and signed in with your work or school account.

Such a useless extension. Not working at all. I can see other comments & still it is not resolved which shows how much MS is making it better. I need to access my university form but due to this it wont let me & Edge said my computer doesn't meet organisation policy.

Same issues as explained below: I must install this extension in order to use SSO with my company's applications. However, the extension is already installed. Have to refresh multiple times in order for Chrome to realize / remember that it is actually already installed.

This extension was causing AzureAD to fail to load w/ error, and M365 Office Home to load blank with no recent documents listed. Probably caused other issues I didn't make the connection. This just started this past week.

I'm being asked to install this extension to access Azure websites though I already have it installed. This was working till recently but now, not anymore. Fix it ASAP.

Does not work. My organization keeps telling me to install the extension and won't let me access our internal sites until it's installed. The problem is I've had this extension for at least six months and it worked fine until the last few updates..

Not sure why, but this extension, and this one only seems to disappear. I need it to authenticate to an SSO site for AZAD, and it disappears every other time I close my browser. Very obnoxious. I am on Windows 10.

This needs some test. Or, it directs us to use Microsoft Edge browser. (I am tired of browser competition between Google and Microsoft)

Hi All, Have you seen issue where ServiceWorker for Windows account extension has been unregistered automatically and causing on Azure wesbite (Portal.office.com) to stop working. Error "You can't get there from here). Windows account extension is still enabled and active. There only option to register serviceworker back is to go into the Windows Account extension details and turn ON /OFF allow incognito mode option.

Mike Fink April 13th, 2022

It works most of the time. Except for the occasions where it stops working inexplicably, and the Outlook webapp claims this extension isn't installed. Clearing cookies solves this for me, but it's stupid that such a workaround is needed, especially when the error message is completely wrong. I went several weeks reverting to running Outlook in Edge, assuming that some corporate security policy had gotten more restrictive before figuring this out the first time.

Does not work on Windows 11, do you have a new one for windows 11 devices


John Baldwin February 25th, 2022
John Baldwin

Only barely works. If Azure Services wants me to log in after leaving the browser idle overnight, after I log in, Azure reports "You can't get there from here," and "you need to install the Windows Accounts extension." Which is already installed. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star and say it's abysmal is that I can click a saved link into Azure Services after that, and it lets me in anyway. (But this might happen even with the browser extension uninstalled!)


Rusty Hester February 24th, 2022
Rusty Hester

This worked great for a while in my environment until the last update. I didn't change any of my GPO's or settings, even rolled back my VDI to see if a security update broke it, nope. It now gets stuck on "Redirecting" and stays there. If i go to the extension and either turn on or off the "Allow incognito" It will start working again until cache is cleared. If it is on, i turn it off, if it is off I turn it on "Fixes" it.

"The Chrome extension is not supported on your version of Windows. You need to be on Windows 10 version 1703 or higher." Ain't Windows 11 21H2 higher enough for you, Microsoft? You can't get your own addon to work with your own OS.

Deployed in my organisation and a handful of people are having intermittent issues with the device ID not populating. Tried to contact the developer and got a bounce back: The groups only accept messages from people in their organization or on their allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the lists. Anyone know how to contact the developer? #Microsoft

My school is monitoring my every move with this application. In fact, this entire computer is bugged. They listen to me and they watch me. I have opened up the computer and destroyed every microphone and optical sensor. I promise you I will never stop fighting. This. is. war. Soon enough they will be placing devices in my walls. Thank you Microsoft for facilitating the control of the American people. I always knew you never cared about the people. At the end of the day you're just another one of those filthy abusive mega corporations. -Anonymous Reviewer

Ridiculously, this is filed in the "productivity" catalog... When 99% of us installed it because some busy-body in the "security" department made us waste time on in... No software in the world will prevent someone who isn't secure from exposing sensitive data or operations. Especially not if we have to waste our time with this kinda stuff, instead of learning about security, what hackers try to do and how our systems work and what's our role in setting up the system so that it cannot be hacked (hint: none of it is a chrome extension)

This extension works with Chrome itself, however, it does not seem to work with Microsoft Teams. It seems that Microsoft Teams (think client) uses a chrome extension when rendering a web page within a Team's tab. When you have Conditional Access policies that look at the device (trusted vs. non-trusted), it does not recognize the device. Is there any fix for this to allow the extension to be accessed via Microsoft Teams??
