I believe solution to this topic title is in the previous post - you don’t need to use two OIDC’s, rather one OIDC and one `Microsoft_auth`.

`microsoft_auth_email_verified` would not make Microsoft Auth behave like the already-configured OIDC flow itself. My understanding is that it only makes Discourse treat Microsoft-provided emails as verified/trusted by default, which can help with account linking / avoiding duplicate accounts **if** those emails are genuinely verified:

- [Microsoft Authentication](https://meta.discourse.org/t/microsoft-authentication/51731)

For the button text, OIDC is definitely under the `js.login.oidc` text namespace:

- [Renaming OpenID button text. and redirecting to OpenID provider when logging in](https://meta.discourse.org/t/renaming-openid-button-text-and-redirecting-to-openid-provider-when-logging-in/304282)

And Microsoft Auth appears to use the `microsoft_office365` translation namespace rather than `oidc` - for example this bug report mentions `en.login.microsoft_office365.name`:

- [Microsoft 365 OAuth2 Plugin - text problems](https://meta.discourse.org/t/microsoft-365-oauth2-plugin-text-problems/168692)

So I think the relevant text key namespace for Microsoft Auth is `microsoft_office365`, not `oidc`.
