By default, Storage Explorer only signs you into your home tenant. If you want to view subscriptions and resources from another tenant, you'll need to activate that tenant. To activate a tenant, check the checkbox next to it. Once you're done working with a tenant, you can uncheck its checkbox to deactivate it. You cannot deactivate your home tenant.

After activating a tenant, you may need to reenter your credentials before Storage Explorer can load subscriptions or access resources from the tenant. Having to reenter your credentials usually happens because of a conditional access (CA) policy such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). And even though you may have already performed MFA for another tenant, you might still have to do it again. To reenter your credentials, simply click on **Reenter credentials...**. You can also click on **Error details...** to see exactly why subscriptions failed to load.

By default sign-in will happen in your OS' **default web browser**. Signing-in with your default web browser streamlines how you access resources secured via CA policies, such as MFA. If for some reason signing in with your OS' **default web browser** isn't working, you can change where or how Storage Explorer performs sign-in.

By default, sign-in will happen:

- Windows: via your OS' **authentication broker**.

- macOS and Linux: in your OS' **default web browser**.
