2. Multiple Office 365 Accounts : Microsoft and/or Office 365 Logins

  1. Use Chrome Profile

  2. Create profile with naming pattern like O365.[acronym] e.g: O365.SB

  3. Login to portal.office.com

  4. Open any other pages, e.g: Outlook, Word, Admin Center ect.

  5. Set Home pages for profile to the open tabs

Now when you open the profile in the future all pages will be loaded and logged into, likewise you could use bookmarks in the new profile for similar shortcut access to O365 pages.

I tried Session Box, however it had problems with the varying domains, for example portal.office.com and https://outlook.office365.com/ were not in same session in Session Box. Isolation was based on portal.office.com only
