A slow sign-in can involve page loading, identity-provider redirect, MFA delivery, or session creation. Record the approximate duration of each stage using local time with timezone, broad region, network type, and sign-in method. Compare one working region or network if available, but do not call a single slow device a regional outage. Check the official service status and avoid repeated authentication attempts that might lock the account. Share no credentials or precise location. The stage that lags is more useful than a single total-time estimate.
