    Hi @Nosiphiwo Gift Tyobela, 

    Thanks for sharing this. To better understand what’s happening and help you moved forward it, I’d like to ask a few quick questions so we can narrow this down together: 

    • Could you share the full error message you’re seeing, if possible? Even a screenshot would be really helpful.  
    • Also, when did this issue start, and was everything working normally before, or is this the first time you’ve tried signing in to this account? 
    • It would also help to know which app you’re trying to use, for example Teams, Outlook, or another school app, and whether you’re able to sign in successfully through a web browser instead.  
    • Lastly, do you know if any of your classmates are experiencing the same issue, or is it only happening to your account? 

    In the meantime, you may find it helpful to reach out to your school’s IT administrator, as they have the necessary permissions and tools to check and resolve this more quickly and effectively from their end.

    Whenever you have a moment, please feel free to reply with the details above by leaving a comment under this post. This will help me understand your situation better and point you toward the right solution. 

    Thank you again for taking time.

    The message about “bypassing” and losing access to a school account usually means a security or compliance policy has been triggered on the account or device. When that happens, only the school or organization’s IT/admin team can restore access.

    Actions to take:

    1. Stop further sign-in attempts
      • Multiple failed or repeated sign-in attempts can cause Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication (MFA) to block additional attempts as a security measure. If there have been many attempts, wait before trying again or use a different MFA method if available.
    2. Contact school IT/helpdesk
      • Explain that access to the school account or app has been blocked and that a message about “bypassing” appeared.
      • Ask them to:
        • Check Microsoft Entra sign-in logs for the account.
        • Confirm whether any conditional access, device compliance, or MFA policy has locked or blocked the account or device.
        • Re-enable the account or adjust policies if appropriate.
    3. If the issue appears during MFA or passkey sign-in
      • If a passkey or Microsoft Authenticator is involved and you see messages that a passkey can no longer be used, remove any outdated passkeys from the authenticator app and set up a new passkey as instructed by your organization.
    4. If you suspect someone else tried to use the account
      • Inform school IT immediately so they can investigate and secure the account.

    If these steps do not restore access, the school’s IT/helpdesk must resolve it; it cannot be fixed from the device alone.
