Outlook keeps asking for password
- Ok so now I tried the same registry settings on a computer with Office 2016 and IT WORKS!
Oh course I had to change for version 16 in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover REG_DWORD 1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity\EnableADAL REG_DWORD 1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity\Version REG_DWORD 1

Just wanted to cast my vote as well that setting these three registry keys solved my same issue as well. Two weeks ago my desktop outlook started continuously asking for (and not remembering) my office 365 account password, would not download new data, and was not giving any kind of prompt as to what the error was, it just kept asking. After spending one or two hours here and there looking for and trying solutions, these registry key settings below (from the "best response on page two) fixed my problem.
Thank you!
