In the event you run into multiple password prompts in Outlook or an infinite password loop, then please follow these steps to correct the issue.
-
Close all Office applications, including Skype and Teams.
-
Click Start and type cmd, but don't press Enter.
-
Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
-
Paste the following text into the Command Prompt window and then press Enter:
powershell.exe -Command "& {Invoke-CommandInDesktopPackage -PackageFamilyName (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Office.Desktop).PackageFamilyName -AppId (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Office.Desktop).PublisherId -Command C:\Windows\regedit.exe}
-
Set the following Registry Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity] "DisableADALatopWAMOverride"=dword:00000001"
-
Open Windows PowerShell and clear your credentials cache by running the following command:
cmdkey /list | ForEach-Object{if($_ -like "*Generic:*"){cmdkey /del:($_ -replace " ","" -replace "Target:","")}}
Note:Â If you prefer not to run that command you can manually delete all the credentials that start with MicrosoftOffice16_Data:ADAL in Credential Manager > Windows Credentials.
-
Reopen your Office applications. You may see the password prompt one additional time.
