To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

The readme in the user-auth folder states to register an application using Azure Active Directory admin center or with the provided Powershell script.

The Sign in again button leads to:

On that page, I am prompted:

Focusing on your first error - that indicates that the registered application was registered with the Accounts in this organizational directory only option, and you're attempting to sign into that application with an account (from live.com) that does not exist in the organization where you registered the app.

If you're looking to support personal accounts, you should create an app registration with the Accounts in any organizational directory ... and personal Microsoft accounts option.

I appreciate the feedback. This is a new topic for me so I followed the instructions in README.md verbatim. I don't know how to follow your advice, but I'll spend some time looking into it this evening and will create a PR for README.md if I find something useful.
