SSO in Office 365 ProPlus with SCA (Shared Computer Activation)
In addition to Bill's comments, that log in and activation should only appear on first use.
The licensing token system means every time after that, the background process will contact the licensing server and attempt to renew the token in the backgorund, without the need for additional username and password entering by the user.

Thank you the feedback!
That would be very unfortunate because the reason of using SCA is that users are always using another PC to work on. So If I understand it correctly, they will always have to go through the Office authentication flow?
In the documentation I found and also on the video about Office deployment, the message is given that the user is authenticated automatically in the background without dialog:
If your environment is configured to synchronize Office 365 and network user accounts, then the user probably won't see any prompts. Office 365 ProPlus should automatically be able to get the necessary information about the user's account in Office 365.

The same message is said in the MVA video: https://mva.microsoft.com/en-US/training-courses/solving-office-365-client-deployment-scenarios-9086?l=suttZBf4_2304984382
