Right now we have it set to prompt when a user is not on any of our corporate networks or they are using a mobile device. To locate and view the registry setting for Anonymous Authentication in the Outlook profile, follow these steps. This issue can occur if the Logon network security setting on the Security tab of the Microsoft Exchange dialog box is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication. Today was the first time in about 2 months that I had the issue. It happened right before lunch, locked my machine, went out for lunch, came back, and logged in, this time successfully.

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
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.It requests me to login to my microsoft account.FYI outlook 2013 requires a registry setting to work with MA.I have a valid MS 365 subscription that includes 5 device licenses.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.
When we opened the old, existing profile it didn’t ask for ANY authentication, it just started working. 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. [repair corrupted OST in Outlook](http://boiler.ttoslinux.org/doloresbartos/4662124/-/issues/4) Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you access it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur. We are looking at using conditional access policies where a user with a Domain joined PC is not prompted for MFA.

I do NOT have this issue with the other laptop, an iPad, a MacBook Pro and [resolve Outlook not sending emails fast](https://gitlab-ce.apps.openshift4.positiva.gov.co/brigidamazzeo7/lucie2004/issues/4) tablet. So figuring that was the same issue here, I did the same thing. I'm also getting Error 29, which the MS support rep couldn't explain to me. I even tried disabling my anti -virus while authenticating, that didn't work.

So not doing anything at all even seems to work. Which to me sounds [resolve Outlook not sending emails fast](https://campusbiasharaclub.com/read-blog/982_troubleshoot-outlook-for-windows-issues.html) like the issue is service side, not client side.
