Odd. I dislike Google’s very much. Although I use Google’s with many accounts (personal/work/partner) sometimes URLs will just assume my identity is “logged in account index 0” and give me a permission denied, or pass me to a page which has no way of changing the active account. I found that most urls can have “u/1/“ pretty much anywhere to change accounts but if they have rewritten the url before I see the permission denied or black-hole then it’s useless.
There’s also the fact that google recently forced Javascript and specific browsers to be used in order to be able to login. So I was locked out of my account for a while until someone discovered that the “rules” are a little more lax for Firefox useragents.
To add to this: I’m certainly no Microsoft fanboy but the best login I have experienced (in my life I think) is AzureAD with SAML. It seems to use Kerberos silently in the background to do saml handshaking. It’s truly seamless and very fast.
Even if I’m logged in to outlook from office365 (from a non-enrolled computer) I won’t even be presented with another login screen. I’ll just be logged in like “magic”.
