In this case are you saying that there is a password prompt for the users credentials? Clear the Windows Credential manager or recreate the users Outlook profile. In fact if you just turned on MFA and you were not using MFA before you usually end up having to rebuild the profile and clearing the 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.

Please help can't afford a new computer if I throw this one against the wall. 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’. Office 2016 is already Modern Authentication aware so APP passwords are not required.

Microsoft Office 365 Endless Authentication Loop Issue

We’ve got a support case opened with Microsoft on this one but it’s been open for about 3 months.There doesn’t appear to be any pattern to the issue occurring or the problem being limited to any specific computer or user.It happened right before lunch, locked my machine, went out for lunch, came back, and logged in, this time successfully.I checked my MS account info page, subscription is fine.The user could use the Windows mail and calendar apps but Outlook wouldn’t connect and kept prompting for a password.I disabled the Zoom and Adobe PDF plugins and it stopped prompting me immediately.

In each case the fix has either been one of the above items or a combination of them. There doesn’t appear to be any pattern to the issue occurring or the problem being limited to any specific computer or user. By chatting and providing personal info, you understand and agree to our Terms of [Fix Outlook and Office365 Sync Issues](https://gitlab.innive.com/qhdcathryn4365) Service and Privacy Policy. I disabled the Zoom and Adobe PDF plugins and it stopped prompting me immediately. My client’s Outlook will only continuously ask for the password after MFA is enforced and Office.com has been logged in. It would be nice if it distinguished between your password and the app password.

Outlook stuck in an MFA loop

The [fix MFA prompts not working](https://gitlab.innive.com/lawrencepapath/2232solve-office-365-mailbox-sync-delays/-/issues/2) 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. Have looked all over and people have all sorts of possible solutions, but nothing we found to resolve the issue and get a new issue daily and just keep going through until it eventually works. I’ve seen this happen when the time and or date is wrong on the machine. It’s not caused by an out of sync MFA prompt as I have personally looked at a number of cases with the user as stepped through it.

Microsoft Outlook 2016 and some recent builds of Outlook 2013 are not affected by this issue. Those versions have been updated to prevent the problem that is described in the "Symptoms" section. These versions have the Logon network security setting disabled or removed from the Microsoft Exchange email account [how to fix Outlook not opening today](https://gitlab.mpeeo.com:443/erik17l1084638/credential-loop-in-microsoft-3655335/-/issues/3) settings. It requests me to login to my microsoft account. I then approve the login with my authenticator app. Then i get rerouted to the login page again to repeat the process.
