    Microsoft Acquires GitHub?

    Okaaaayyyy.... Maybe we should start making a list of alternatives to GitHub?

    Also, GitHub is a private company, but who owns it? Who gets money from this move?

    GITHUB

    Why am I getting a GITHUB log in prompt when logging into outlook and how do I get rid of it?

    What is GitHub?

    GITHUB

    So there is the option to login via github now.

    However to do that you have to select "sign-in options" on the sign in page.

    My guess is that roboform is inputting your username, then trying to tab down twice to input your password and then doing an enter command to log you in.

    However, because of Outlook's logon structure tabbing down then pressing enter would take you to the sign in options which is why you are seeing the issue.

    You can also verify this if you disable roboform for a minute. Go to outlook and log off. Then when you log in enter your username, click next then enter your password. I doubt you will see the github account question.

    If that is the case then this is an issue with how roboform interacts with signing into outlook. You may need to disable auto-sign in through roboform for outlook.
