Add a custom domain to your Azure AD tenant and provision a new user with the custom domain name.
*Note: The verification process requires a publicly accessible DNS domain. If you do not have one, you can create a DNS zone in Azure. However, unless you register it, you will not be able to verify the domain and will not be able to provision or test a user with that domain. There are many registrars that will register a domain name for less than $10 US for a year.
You will need a publicly registered DNS zone that you have administrative access to. Azure will require you to create a custom txt or mx record in your DNS zone to prove ownership of the domain. If you do not have access to a DNS domain you can provision a new Azure DNS zone. The name of the zone does not matter. This zone will host your custom Azure AD domain name. You will not be able to complete requirements 2 and 3 unless you register the domain name with an internet registrar.
Register your custom DNS domain with your Azure AD tenant. Follow the instructions during the process.
Add a standard user named tasks to the Azure AD tenant using the custom DNS domain that you registered (tasks@yourdomain). Record the password that is generated for the user.
Open a different browser (or private/incognito window) and login to https://myapps.microsoft.com as your task user (tasks@yourdomain). Reset the password to something you will remember.
