Hello Team,

I just came here to clarify that the Power Automate cloud workflow is not working with my personal account.

A year back, I was using all the tools and was more active, but due to some family and personla issue i am not active with it. Now, when I came back, when I try to log in with the Power Automate Cloud with my personal Outlook, I am getting an error message,

so power autiomate cloud will not work with the personal account?

Error message

Sorry, but we’re having trouble signing you in.

AADSTS500200: User account 'iamNKannan@outlook.com' is a personal Microsoft account. Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported for this application unless explicitly invited to an organization. Try signing out and signing back in with an organizational account.

Thanks,

The error isn't caused by your account or a temporary issue—it's because Power Automate Cloud now requires a Microsoft Entra ID organizational account.

Personal Microsoft accounts (@outlook.com, @hotmail.com, etc.) are no longer supported for signing in to the enterprise Power Automate service.

If you want to continue developing cloud flows, you'll need access to a work/school tenant or a developer tenant.

If you're only interested in desktop automation, Power Automate Desktop remains an option with a personal account, although its cloud capabilities will be

limited.

Hi @Kannan_n,

This is a confirmed change personal Microsoft accounts (@outlook.com, @hotmail.com) can no longer sign in to Power Automate Cloud. Multiple community threads from late 2025 confirm this is a policy change that affected users who had previously been using Power Automate with personal accounts for years.

Your options to get back up and running:

1. Microsoft 365 Developer Program (free): sign up at developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/dev-program. This gives you a free Microsoft 365 E5 developer tenant with an organizational account and 25 user licenses. It's the recommended path for individuals and developers who don't have a work account. Your flows won't transfer automatically but you can recreate them.

2. Work or school account: if you have any organizational Microsoft 365 subscription (through an employer, school, or client), use that account instead.

3. Trial tenant: go to admin.microsoft.com and sign up for a Microsoft 365 Business Basic trial with a new domain. This creates an organizational tenant.
Unfortunately there's no way to migrate your existing flows from the personal account to a new tenant. The content is tied to the personal account environment which is no longer accessible.
