Needs Password Outlook

[Tanya Arora]

We are using Outlook (365) and for one of the users it's stuck on needs password state. When you click on it, a window pops up and disappears in a second. We have a cleared the windows credentials, no go and when we try to create a new profile, it says - Sorry can't create at this moment(not the exact works). 

On a side note, the user is also seeing a bit locker issue and the machine can't detect the TPM. Not sure if the issues are related in any matter, but wanted to put it out there. 

Any suggestions will be very helpful.

Thanks!

@Tanya Arora make sure Windows and Office have the latest updates.

Try configuring the affected account on a different computer and see if he encounters the same issue.

@bartthemustang I'm not the one having the issue. 

And be careful with those registry keys, they can cause more issues with you put the values wrong (0/1)
