Issue & solution:
You are logged in with your organisation's Microsoft account (in this case test.person@testorg.org) in the same browser as the one you are using for logging into Search & Match or other WMDA services. You are probably using it for services such as Office365/Microsoft365 which include outlook. In order to prevent these issues please use a browser that is not logged into your organisation's office365/microsoft365 account. You can also use incognito/inprivate mode for that.
If the issue persistsBesides the regular B2C login method, there is an alternative way of logging in ("B2B"). It involves using your own organisationown organisation's Microsoft account (in this case test.person@testorg.org) account to login to the WMDA Portal, Search & Match, SPEAR and future other services. Instead of having a separate password for WMDA services, you keep using the password from your own organisation. Your own Microsoft account is "invited" into our environment as a guest. There is just another layer of MFA that is enforced on the WMDA side in order to help secure the applications.
