Why is the email address for a new account limited to Google and Microsoft?
Google and its email are not available in my country.
I have no Microsoft email account yet. :sweat_smile:

For example, Roadmap for Process Model (PROC) Component:

Well, that's Atlassian. I didn't know the choices were restricted in that way. Unfortunately, this is not something we are in control of.

You can register using any email address though. It's only if you want to use SSO that you have to choose between MS and Google.
