How To Fix Outlook Prompting For Credentials

OK, so this bit is about us! But it's helpful to give you an idea of the people behind the process, right?

This quick step guide will show you how to troubleshoot the issue of Outlook prompting for credentials.

Outlook Profile Recreation

  • Navigate to control panel > Mail > Show Profiles > Add.

  • Create a name to distinguish the new from old profile.

  • Type in account details if it does not auto populate.

  • Untick mobile app option and finish.

  • Change always sign using profile to new profile and see if this resolves sign in issues. If it does, then the old profile is probably corrupted.

Outlook Force Recovery

  • Open command Prompt as admin
  • In Command Prompt, type “dsregcmd/forcerecovery” (this will get the device to re-register on Azure)
  • Sign out of your windows account and sign back in
  • Open Outlook and sign in once to see if this resolves your issue.
