I experience the issue myself as well, every once in a while. Tried CC cleaner to clean up registry and everything -- also keep in mind this FixTechGuide login issue guide is a fairly recent reinstall of windows. I am unable to stay signed in to my work account on Teams, Outlook, Office365 for more than 5 minutes.

Outlook credential prompt loop

So figuring that was the same issue here, I did the same thing. I'm also getting Error 29, which the MS support rep couldn't explain to me. I even tried disabling my anti -virus while authenticating, that didn't work. On the off chance that none of these things solve this issue for you, please contact our how to fix Outlook not opening today support team at

Loop of 'Sign in to your account'.

I had this exact issue on another machine, that after 2.5 hours on the phone with MS support (via Zoom), the solution was to uninstall MS Office 365 and reinstall it. Yeap, you describe it exactly and unfortunately we still don’t have an answer. Closed the window without entering anything and Outlook returned to ‘Connected to Exchange’. I created a new Outlook profile, and then the old one started working. I wonder if the compuer cached a new logon token or something that the old Outlook profile could use. Also, during the new profile creation, I was only prompted for a password and not for MFA.

Resetting the Windows Credential Manager:

If you are saying that they are getting multiple MFA prompts then this is an out of sync issue with the wrong code being used. We’ve got a support case opened with Microsoft on this one but it’s been FixTechGuide Outlook repair tutorial open for about 3 months. Unfortunately when the problem occurs they’ve asked us to ring straight away but of course you can never get them instantly (we’ve just been given someone’s direct number now). To make a long story short we’ve since been asked to collect Outlook logs and install Fiddler to capture additional logging. Initially, this account didn't have MFA turned on, and I was able to log in.

• Tried CC cleaner to clean up registry and everything -- also keep in mind this is a fairly recent reinstall of windows.
• I feel like this issue is getting progressively worse as the fix used to be clearing the credential manager or if it was bad uninstalling the entire Office Suite, clearing all traces and reinstalling and now we are seeing nothing helping it.
• This is now the 2nd machine that presents the same issue.
• I disabled the Zoom and Adobe PDF plugins and it stopped prompting me immediately.
• Clear the Windows Credential manager or recreate the users Outlook profile.
• On the main machine where I have been using the suite, now my account is deactivated and if I try to authenticate, it looks like it works but then get the "Fix", "Authenticate", "Activate" or "Resolve" buttons, all of which do nothing.

Changing Outlook Security Settings:

Hi, my office 365 account used to work with my desktop apps, I have confirmed with my admin system twice already that I have the appropriate license and everything is enabled but i keep getting stuck in this loop. We are looking at using conditional access policies where a user with a Domain joined PC is not prompted for MFA. Right now we have it set to prompt when a user is not on any of our corporate networks or they are using a mobile device. The user had Office 2015 and Office 2016 credentials and Teams credentials that we deleted. We checked with Word that the account was connected–it was and the we opened Outlook and it immediately connected. We too have been seeing this more and more, all W10 on O365, although we use Okta as our MFA.
