I created user for RDP into Azure VM and was using it for few times, today I tried to login but I have forgotten what user I used. Is there any way to se what was the user and maybe password for RDP to VM machine?
You can try to reset the admin user password of your server, if you don’t remenber the name of this, don’t worry this action will create another one.
select Reset password under Help > enter a username (new one if you don’t know the old one) and a password

I'm in a bind with Azure login account. I've forgotten my password for my account that I use for a client's DevOps. It wasn't until I ended up created another account today to troubleshoot the problem that I might understand the issue, but still can't fix it.
About a year ago, my client added me as a Guest in their Active Directory. I did not have an active directory myself. I got the notice from Microsoft in an invite email to get started, which created an account to get access to their Azure Portal and DevOps. I've been logged in for a year, but was trying test a feature which required me to login to DevOps during the process. I tried what I thought was my password, but that didn't work. No problem, I'll just click on the reset password feature. That ended up informing me that "password reset isn't properly set up for your organization." Knowing who setup my account up, I ask them to reset my password. The response was we do not have control to reset your password because you're a guest.
Through several discussions, and seeing what was available to them, and how a Guest was set up, it was suggested to setup an account within Microsoft for the email. I did that, and when I went back to try and login to their portal, I was presented with two options after I entered my email address. There was a work account and a personal account. Both with the same email address. The work account indicated it was created by "your IT department". Which we did not create this, it was a result of the client adding us as a guest, then finishing the process to gain access. So I can only assume, either an active directory was created for my domain, or I was added to a generic active directory.
In either case, I still can't change the password for the work account, and researching has not helped, as it keeps resetting my personal account.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Here is what I'm currently seeing.
Thank you,
Marc
You don't have an AAD tenant. So I assume that your account is an Microsoft personal account.
Although you are added as the guest user in your client's tenant, the password management is not handled by that tenant. It is still handled by Microsoft personal account.
You can reset your password here: click on Sign In, enter your account and click on Forgot password?.
In self-service password reset (SSPR), to prevent users from multiple attempts to reset a password, if user try only five wrong password reset attempts it lock user for 24 hours. I would like to confirm, if there is a way for Admins to reset the counter for the locked user account and/or unblock user to login to the Azure portal?
Reference article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/active-directory-passwords-faq
In the scenario, where a bad actor try to lock some user’s then it could easily be done by knowing the username and users will not be able to login for 24 hours. Is there a way to prevent it?

Administrator can block/unblock users from Azure portal. To do that login to Azure portal from administrator account. Go to Azure Active Directory --> User Section. Select particular user and edit the setting section and select "Yes" to Block sign in the user. Below is the screenshot.
Above process is same for Azure AD B2C.
I hope this helps.
Using AzureAD, users can log in through https://portal.office.com/myapps to their assigned apps. Some of them use the password-based sso with the option "User manages credentials".
This works fine, the user gets a question for his password and this password is used for SSO. Exept when this password changes or is mistyped the first time, then the user can't change his own saved credentials unless two factor authentication is activated for this user.
What is the best way to let the initial password prompt reappear for an user, or give another way to reset the password without activating 2FA?
To answer my own question, there are two portals, the Office 365 version at https://portal.office.com/myapps and the Azure version at https://myapps.microsoft.com. At the second portal, you can click on the three dots and select "update credentials". This can only be done by the users themselves.
Another way, is via the Azure admin portal. There you can assign permissions to an app. We do this normally based on groups. If you assign the permission individually, you can set or change the password, but also empty the fields. This way the user will be re-prompted for their password. After this, you can delete the individual permission, so it's again only group assigned. This can only be done by an admin.
I can't understand why GitLab has an option to disable the user to login on the site, can anyone give me an explanation?
If a user leaves our company we disable the account and delete the ssh key.
It is not unusual that you do not delete the user account if a user leaves the company, but you always disable the accounts.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on VM Player. Everything worked perfectly well, but all of a sudden, after launching, Ubuntu no longer logins with my username. Instead, I only have Guest Session. If I go to switch user, it is the same story. The /etc/shadow file displays my username though, as expected (among the rest).
Running su username returns no permission. Is there any other way for me to retrieve the account? Can I switch from the terminal to my username in a Guest Session?
Thank you.
Sounds like your automatic login settings have changed. You can change this by going to System - Administration - Login Window. You will be prompted for Admin rights, which is your user account probably. Once you authenticate, you check 'enable automatic login' and enter your account. Or the file to edit is /etc/lightdm.conf.
With that said, try not to use an administrator account when using your computer on a daily basis. Good practice is to use a normal user account on a daily basis.
