I received a notification in Outlook late at night stating there was a sign-in issue with my email. After going through the usual steps to reconnect, I was hit with an error saying my account doesn't exist in a different tenant and I need to be added as an external user before connecting through AzureAD. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Just to clarify, this is not a phishing email; it's the official Fix Your Account notification coming from Outlook itself.

It sounds like you've got a classic case of being phished, even if you insist that you haven't. Sometimes, what seems harmless can have nasty consequences later on. It might be worth discussing this with your boss to make sure your accounts are secure, just in case!
Yeah, but hitting "Fix your account" doesn’t change your tenant. Just keep an eye out!
Honestly, even if it’s from within Outlook, if something seems off, it’s good to investigate more. You might want to isolate that device and consult your security team just to be safe.
While you've clarified that it's an official notification, just remember that strange tenant associations don’t usually happen without prior issues. Did you or any admins make any recent DNS changes? Sometimes those can lead to routing errors like this.
No recent changes from our end; that medical group is a total mystery to us.
Make sure to keep things locked down; you never know when something unexpected might pop up!
You should not disregard the fact that sometimes these notifications can be disguised phish attempts. Stay alert and don’t dismiss them automatically. But if you're certain, then it might just be an odd AzureAD glitch.
Good call on being cautious, but I think it’s a legit error this time. Let's see what IT says.
I appreciate the concern, but I really know my stuff when it comes to spotting phishing!
Looks like you might need to check if you're accidentally set up as an admin in that other tenant. Every tenant usually has specific permissions, so ensure no one else has linked your account incorrectly.
I’m on the admin team for my work, so this is a huge surprise to me.
Yeah, security permissions can be tricky. Be sure to isolate your work devices for safety!
That’s rough! But I'd double-check the notification as it seems to be coming straight from Outlook, not an email.
