A cloud-based identity and access management service for securing user authentication and resource access
Can I use the same email address or do I have to use different email address to create a new microsoft account ?

Hi,
I am not able to login Azure Portal because I haven't login for 2 years. Is there any way I can recover.
Thank you

If sign-in to Azure fails because the underlying Microsoft account or tenant has been inactive for a long period, recovery depends on how long it has been inactive and which account type is used.
For a personal Microsoft account (used to sign in to Azure):
In both cases above, the account and associated access (including Azure) cannot be recovered; a new Microsoft account and, if needed, a new Azure tenant must be created.
If the issue is specifically an Azure tenant blocked for inactivity (for example, error AADSTS5000225):
If sign-in problems are instead due to password issues (and the account itself is still valid):
Given the two‑year gap mentioned, the most probable outcome is that the original account/tenant cannot be restored and a new account/tenant must be created for Azure access.
