    Couldn’t they have closed the migration but sent out redemption codes to people’s emails for those who hadn’t migrated?

      I think that’s not a good idea for the same reason that password reset emails expire within minutes.
      On another platform, they might have transferred the accounts anyway and force password resets, but that’s likely not an option since they’re MS accounts.

        They could create a MS account for you based on your email, and have it locked such that you need to reset through their system. Seems reasonable to me.

        But the alternative is just closing it and now there being no option at all.
