...

Login requires the user to click a button to prevent blocking by the browser. Some browsers might still block the login pop-up.

Workaround The workaround is to have users deactivate the pop-up blocker at least for their confluence domain as originating (and https://login.microsoftonline.com/ as the domain of the pop-up if this can/has to be specified).

Info

Other users might also have the problem: namely not when using the support tool but when inserting or viewing a SharePoint Online List or respectively a Document macro.

This message indicates 3rd party cookies are not available via iframe. Check that 3rd party cookies for https://login.microsoftonline.com are enabled in your browser.

AADSTS50058: A silent sign-in request was sent but no user is signed in. The cookies used to represent the user's session were not sent in the request to Azure AD. This can happen if the user is using Internet Explorer or Edge, and the web app sending the silent sign-in request is in different IE security zone than the Azure AD endpoint (login.microsoftonline.com).


Panel

The reason that the error occurs, is that a silent sign-in is sent to the "login.microsoftonline.com" endpoint, however, the cookie (that determines if the user is logged in or not) isn't being detected.

Make sure the browser accepts third-party cookies and third-party cookies for https://login.microsoftonline.com are enabled in your browser.
