Cannot login to Azure portal: AADSTS50020: User account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services'

When trying to access my Azure account portal, I am unable to login and am receiving this error:

AADSTS50020: User account 'xxxxx@harsh.com .com' from identity provider 'live.com' does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application '23523755-3a2b-41ca-9315-f854902566a95'(ACOM Azure Website) in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Sign out and sign in again with a different Azure Active Directory user account.

How do I determine which of my accounts needs to have the failing account added as an external user?

How is an external user added?

    Hi All · The issue at the Azure backend is now resolved.

    You should be able to sign by using both https://portal.azure.com as well as https://azure.microsoft.com.

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused. @Alan G @Deepak Haldiya @ChuLin Tao @achmad @Guy Provost @Tiger Woods @Igor Bernardes Urias @Lucero @Art Barrios

    Regards,
    Aman

    Same thing here. I can use Azure Storage Explorer and Azure Data Explorer and use my account, but can't connect with this same account to get to the portal!
