Ok. So what is the problem here ?

What is the error that you get ?

What browser are you working with ?

What is the client bindings flavor you are using ? [ Java/.Net ]

What is the Selenium version that you are using ?

Thanks & Regards

More importantly do you work for microsoft? 

Do you have permission to use their site?

If you say no to both of these I suggest reading their ToS.

Hi, I've got the same problem. 

That doesn't what driver is used and stuff.
The reason is very simple, by the time when you try to click the button which is span actually, it's not ready to be clicked due to complicated microsoft site logic.

Here is the solution, instead of clicking this button, submit the form that contains user_id and user password:

driver.FindElement(By.Id("cred_userid_inputtext")).SendKeys("name");

driver.FindElement(By.Id("cred_password_inputtext")).SendKeys("password");

driver.FindElement(By.Id("credentials")).Click();

Best, Boris.
