This is now the 2nd machine that presents the same issue.



credential loop in Microsoft 365

I feel like this issue is getting progressively worse as the fix used to be Outlook sync help from FixTechGuide 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. 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. Problem doesn’t just happen on PC’s connected to the internal network, but can happen when a laptop is remote and connected via external wifi or mobile hotspot. Today was the first time in about 2 months that I had the issue. It happened right before lunch, locked my machine, went out for lunch, came back, and logged in, this time successfully.

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 send/receive error 0x800CCC0E fix 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:





I have contacted my organization and everything looks alright from their end.. I went as far as getting a new device but it did not cut it. When I try to sign again it will be stuck in sign in loop with the message " Taking you to your organization sign in page" after I have logged in on my company site... When I log in to my account at first from a new device or after a while, it stays signed in and I can work peacefully for about an hour, then it automatically signs me out. Or, any suggestion on how to fix this issue, even flush DNS and re-sync Outlook better. I do NOT have this issue with the other laptop, an iPad, a MacBook Pro and tablet.

  • 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.
  • Problem doesn’t just happen on PC’s connected to the internal network, but can happen when a laptop is remote and connected via external wifi or mobile hotspot.
  • 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.

  • Not sure if it has to do with being an onmicrosoft.com account that has no domain assigned to it.
  • 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.
  • Checking the Account in Word showed the correct authentication and subscription.
  • Office 2016 is already Modern Authentication aware so APP passwords are not required.

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.
