Microsoft announced the addition of an Azure Active Directory (AD) sign-in history feature that would allow users to get an overview of past sign-ins and quickly detect any unusual login activity.

The Azure AD account sign-in recent activity can be accessed via the My Sign-Ins tile, that can be loaded from each user's Overview blade.
Successful and unsuccessful sign-ins
The account's recent login activity makes it possible to quickly have an overview of all successful and unsuccessful sign-ins, as well as additional info (OS, browser, approximate location, IP address, and application) needed to understand if unauthorized parties gained access to your account.

Unusual account activity can easily be detected if you spot a strange OS, web browser, or location being used for one of the sign-in events, which could hint that a potential attacker has accessed your account.

"In this case, the user should change their password immediately and then go to the Security info page to update their security settings," says Microsoft Identity Security and Protection team Senior Program Manager Robyn Hicock.
