Office 365 Apple Keeps Ag For Password The First

Id just recommend adding more details to your next question, this was a bit vague IMHO.

Many of the other topics out on the net dont mention restarting the entire macbook - but that was necessary for me.

I fixed it by going to Preferences Accounts, removing my account, and adding it again.

Office 365 Apple Keeps Ag For Password The First

When i setup the account in Outlook 2016 it accepts the password the first time but then asks for it again and again as soon as you close Outlook and it wont accept the correct password.

There are no security options to configure in advanced settings, its all greyed out.

I dread having to contact Go Daddy as i am not the account holder, this is being managed by another IT consultant whose hard to reach.

Remove all saved passwords from the vault if there are any present.

Try again. If that doesnt work 2 2.

Open outlook in safe mode StartRun type in Outlook safe (press enter) add the users credentials and see if it takes.

One of them is the initial auto discover message to connect to the GoDaddy server and the second one is the specific box which comes up all the time no matter how often you put in the password.

Utterly frustrating Any more tips or do you think i have to go to GODaddy.

Enter the email address of the user whose outlook you are working on and their password.

We were using Office 2010, Outlook 2010 on all machines for email.

The solution I found was to make the Credential folders (2) and all they contain, Read Only.

I found an answer somewhere that IMAP - timing issue - may cause this.

Fine. it worked back then.

No more random prompting for credentials several times a day.

I received a report from customer the prompting has returned.

I again made the 2 credential folders all all contents Read Only.

Now - as the one accepted solution above - I believe to be true - i think its an issue with latency or a timing issue with GoDaddy.

You have to change your view settings in Explorer (File Explorer) and remove the check mark to Hide protected operating system files.

Then go to the uses folder usually in the root folder of the booting drive, (C:Users), open that up and open AppData, then the one folder that for sure holds these credentials is under Roaming (RoamingMicrosoftCreden tials).

You right click on the Credentials folder and select Properties and under the General tab you will see Read Only (only applies to files in this folder).

Click on that checkbox to remove the fill, and click on it again until you see a check mark instead.

This means all content under this folder is now selected.

Apply. Ok. The other Credential folder which is always empty for me at least, and probably not in play with Outlook is under AppDataLocalMIcrosoft.

I personally perform this procedure on this empty folder though it isnt actually holding anything - just as a precaution.
