Do you use a Microsoft account (Outlook, Microsoft 365, Azure AD) and want to register or sign in to Freelo quickly and without a password? You can\! Freelo supports both sign-in and registration via a Microsoft account.
Registration
Don't have a Freelo account yet and want to register directly using a Microsoft account? Below you can find all available options.
Via the Freelo website
- On the registration page, click Register with Microsoft.
Registration in Freelo via the website. - You will be redirected to the Microsoft sign-in page.
- Select the Microsoft account you want to link with Freelo, or sign in.
- Confirm your consent to share data with Freelo.
In the final step of registration, your first and last name will be automatically pre-filled from your Microsoft account. You can edit these details and optionally add a phone number. Then click Create account – and you're done.
Via invitation
If someone invites you to Freelo by email, the invitation will contain a link to a page where you can choose:
- registration using email, or
- registration using a Microsoft account
This is what the invitation link to Freelo from an email looks like.
The rest of the process is the same as when registering via the website.
Sign-in
User registered via Microsoft
When signing in, simply click Sign in with Microsoft and select the Microsoft account you used to register with Freelo.
User not registered via Microsoft
You have a Freelo account registered with a Microsoft email address. You can link your Freelo account to a Microsoft account later. There are two options:
Via account settings (recommended)
- Click your avatar in the top right corner.
- Go to Settings → Security and sign-in.
- In the Sign-in section, select Set up Microsoft sign-in.
Select the Microsoft account you want to link with Freelo. - A modal window will open and guide you through the verification process.
- For security reasons, you will be asked to enter your Freelo password.
- Select the Microsoft account you want to link with Freelo.
After completion, you can sign in using the Microsoft button.
From the sign-in page (signed-out user)
- Go to the Freelo sign-in page.
- Click Sign in with Microsoft.
Link your Freelo account with Microsoft using the button. - Select the Microsoft account under which your Freelo account is registered.
- The first sign-in will still be completed using the original method (email and password).
- From the next sign-in onwards, you can use the Microsoft button.
Your Freelo account is registered with a different email than Microsoft
That is not a problem. You can have:
- one email for standard sign-in (email and password),
- a different email for Microsoft sign-in.
The process is the same:
- Go to Settings → Security and sign-in.
- Set up Microsoft sign-in.
- Select the Microsoft account and enter your Freelo password.
After that, you can sign in using both methods.
Using Google and Microsoft sign-in on one account
In Freelo, it is possible to use both Google and Microsoft sign-in for one and the same account. Each sign-in method can be linked to a different email address.
How does it work in practice?
- One Freelo account can have:
- standard sign-in (email and password),
- sign-in via a Google account,
- sign-in via a Microsoft account.
- Google and Microsoft sign-in work independently of each other.
- It is not a problem if:
- the Google account uses a different email than the Microsoft account,
- and both are linked to the same Freelo account.
How can you set up both sign-in methods?
Each sign-in method is set up separately:
- Go to Settings → Security and sign-in.
Setting up Microsoft account sign-in. - In the Sign-in section, set up:
- Google sign-in,
- and/or Microsoft sign-in.
- To complete the linking, you must enter your Freelo password for security reasons.
After that, you can sign in to the same Freelo account either via Google or via Microsoft, depending on which option is more convenient for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not receiving Freelo notifications on my Microsoft email. What can I do?
Microsoft Defender sometimes incorrectly flags Freelo emails or links as phishing (reason: URL detonation reputation). This typically affects corporate accounts with a paid Microsoft 365 / Office 365 tenant — personal accounts usually only experience messages ending up in spam.
If Freelo notifications stop arriving and you're using Office 365, ask your tenant admin to do the following:
- In Microsoft Defender, open Tenant Allow/Block List and Spoof intelligence.
- Add the domain freelo.io (or app.freelo.io) as allowed.
- Report blocked Freelo emails to Microsoft as a false positive.
After allowlisting in the tenant, emails should start arriving normally within a few minutes.
Can I remove the Microsoft account connection in the future?
Yes, if you have a password set in Freelo.
- Go to Settings → Security and sign-in.
- In the Sign-in section, remove the Microsoft account connection by clicking Remove Microsoft sign-in.
Removing Microsoft account sign-in. - To confirm, you will need to enter your Freelo password.
What about an account created via Microsoft registration?
If you do not have a Freelo password set, the Microsoft account connection cannot be removed. To unlink the Microsoft account, you must first set a password for standard sign-in.
Can I change the linked Microsoft account?
Yes. First, remove the existing connection and then set it up again with a different Microsoft account.
Condition: the selected Microsoft account must not already be linked to another Freelo account.
Which email address will receive Freelo notifications?
Notifications are sent to the email address used during registration. This also applies to registration via Microsoft.
You can at any time check or change the notification email in the Notifications section.
