Making a fully anonymous portal so I want to remove all sign-in links/info and search.

I've disabled search, deactived pages etc and all the options on the sign-in page in my portal, but I haven't figured out how to find a way to disable "sign-in" in my portal menu or the actual sign-in page. Is there a way to do this? The menu is more important athestically, but be good if I could find a way to disable the sign-in page too.

I recommend avoid deactivating the Web Pages itself, there are a few Site Settings that can help you with that

in regards disable login, I wouldn't really recommend that, you might need to clear the cache from time to time in your Portal to reflect the most recent configuration, I am giving two options to disable login below here

Disable Search:
set the Site Settings "Search/Enabled" to false

Disable Login (personally I don't recommend):
set below site settings to false, you will need to Restart the portal via Admin Center to reflect, as some of this are loaded when the website starts in Azure/server level: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/admin/admin-overview
Authentication/Registration/Enabled
Authentication/Registration/AzureADLoginEnabled
Authentication/Registration/ExternalLoginEnabled
Authentication/Registration/InvitationEnabled
Authentication/Registration/LocalLoginEnabled
Even by deactivating the above, the SignIn link will still be present on the menu, and you need to hide it via JS, which comes to my recommended approach

Disable Login (recommended):
Leave at least one login type enabled for clearing cache purposes, and hide the sign in via JS
Open the Web Template Header, and at the bottom there is some JavaScript code, within the window.onload function add the following code:
$('a[href^="/SignIn"]').hide();
The above will hide the SignIn link, but you might notice that there is a small delay, and the user will still know that the SignIn exists, so I recommend changing the SignIn text to a simple "-" or "."
Create a Content Snippet called "links/login" with the text
