Did anybody else face the issue that they got a mail from Microsoft asking them to "Try Designer" however once you try to login with your account it mentions: This account doesn't exist.

I am not sure what Designer is and I wanted to check if it was a Figma/Adobe XD competitor.

I did get the email too, but didn't have the issue.

From another comment of mine:

> It is not a Figma alternative. Figma is a tool for designers to design. Microsoft Designer seems to be a tool for non-designers to attempt design, with the help of AI. Very different audiences, and trying out the tool, everything about the UI/UX makes that very clear, Microsoft Designer is more like a wizard for creating a initial design, while Figma is a proper tool.
