Also, at the time, that user did not have MFA turned on. In the instances that this occurs the effected user is not new to MFA but has been running it for at least months. The problem appears to randomly affect users (I’ve had it affect myself once too), and the only solution appears to one of (or a combination of) the options in the OP. Out of 140 staff the problem seems to occur once every 2-3 weeks on average.
Additional resources
This is now the 2nd machine that presents the same issue. I have a valid MS 365 subscription that includes 5 device licenses. On the main machine where I have been using the suite, now my account is deactivated and if I try to authenticate, it looks like it works but then get the "Fix", "Authenticate", "Activate" or "Resolve" buttons, all of which do nothing. I checked my MS account info page, subscription is fine. 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.
Microsoft Office 365 Endless Authentication Loop Issue
Checking the Account in Word showed the correct authentication and subscription.It requests me to login to my microsoft account.FYI outlook 2013 requires a registry setting to work with MA.These versions have the Logon network security setting disabled or removed from the Microsoft Exchange email account settings.I have a valid MS 365 subscription that includes 5 device licenses.Modifying the Outlook profile by using the "Profiles" registry path is not supported and may cause your Outlook profile to be in an unsupported state.Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.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.
You may have to rebuild/restore your outlook folder/files which is a pain. I’d do that one step at a [disable faulty add-ins in Outlook](https://fraudabc.com/community/profile/aracelisrickel/) time, forgoing the restore of the cached files. If this box is greyed out or disabled then you need to reset the Windows Credential Manager first. Or, any suggestion on how to fix this issue, even better.
Outlook stuck in an MFA loop
The [inbox repair tool alternative](https://forum.spacemangaming.games/viewtopic.php?id=40047) 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. 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. I’ve seen this happen when the time and or date is wrong on the machine. 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.
Outlook 365 Password Prompt Issue on Windows Desktop
So not doing anything at all even seems to work. Which to me sounds [recreate Outlook profile step by step](http://mtthub.org/groups/outlook-repair-with-fixtechguide/) like the issue is service side, not client side. 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.
