Explanation
The message 'Your sign-in was blocked. We've detected something unusual about this sign-in' is the exact language displayed when Azure AD Identity Protection policies block a sign-in. Specifically, this occurs when a sign-in risk policy or user risk policy is configured to block access above a certain risk threshold (e.g., medium or high). The phrase 'contact your admin' also aligns with Identity Protection behavior, which requires admin remediation or MFA to unblock. Conditional Access policies (B) can also block sign-ins but typically display different messaging and require different configuration triggers. DLP and supervision policies (C, D) do not affect authentication.
