Outlook (365) Need Password - Issue
- Hi Muhammed,
Add the Registry key as advised in the article
We've been seeing this for more than 6 months sporadically and again same for one computer today. There was no recent password change but suddenly behavior as described here. Adding this key and setting it to 1 fixed the issue with no reboot. We're seeing this reported by a very small number (half or a quarter percent maybe?) of the clients that we manage.
Best, Chris
I have this problem ongoing for months. Tried the registry hack that didn't work. Ran online repair and received error screen "Something went wrong".
Are you for real or just pulling our leg? Why on earth are we required to hack the registry then delete entire Outlook and Windows profile then recreate it all? That's a lot of work. Microsoft is required by law to correct these issues. Billions of people and businesses pay for their products hence Microsoft is required by law to provide an acceptable level of service. Not provide long and detailed workarounds for faulty software dirty coding or whatever. Of course they blame third party apps or someone and/or something else. In the meantime the end users are the ones left to troubleshoot and fix these issues themselves. Who pays for my time to fix this? Not MS that's for sure. ChrisHoardMVP
Are you using multiple organisations?
If so, this helped for me, so no need to do fancy stuff.
Quit outlook, re-logon in Teams with your correct organization and restart outlook.
I currently use the other organisations in an InPrivate window to overcome 'life' switching.
Here I do miss the alerts I would like to have and certainly if I'm mentioned somewhere but at least it is a 'workaround' for the other issues you get when switching organisations.
This is of course no excuse for MS not to solve this and to come up with a solution that helps us to switch organisations without problems.
