[What and why]
We're updating the domain used for Microsoft Entra identity and access management self-service experiences. As part of this change, myaccount.microsoft.com will move to myaccount.cloud.microsoft. Experiences currently hosted on separate domains will also be consolidated under the myaccount.cloud.microsoft domain.
The following experiences are included in this update:
- myaccount.microsoft.com
- myapps.microsoft.com
- myaccess.microsoft.com
- mystaff.microsoft.com
This change provides a more consistent and unified access point for identity and access management self-service experiences while supporting ongoing improvements to our service infrastructure.
[Rollout schedule]
- General Availability (Worldwide): Beginning in late November 2026 and expected to complete in late November 2026
