Thanks for reporting the issue @rido-min, we are looking into this issue. We've got a mixed results of whether signin works for a personal account which is strange as we already made Explorer a first party app. Will update when we got some progress. Just want to make sure if the shcool/work account is working for you?

Looking into the issue, we want to share several findings:

  1. MSA cannot access ARM resource, which is what Explorer needed to query subscriptions and hubs: https://stackoverflow.microsoft.com/questions/134002
  2. You should be able to access AAD with a personal account with a tenant, or register an Azure account: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/947467/cannot-access-34azure-active-directory34-from-the.html
  3. Before user can access Azure portal, there is a step of Azure registration. And thus users can access portal with their MSA account granting Portal would add the user to a tenant, but only in the context of Portal.

We would kindly ask our users with personal account to create a tenant, and login with user1@yourTenantName.onmicrosoft.com instead, or register an Azure account.
