So.. after about an hour of working this morning I noticed my emails had stopped flowing through into Outlook, I knew I had emails as my phone was still pinging off.
After a little investigation I noticed in the bottom right corner of Outlook it said Needs Password, cool, should be easy…..
Oh no, it bloody wasn’t, no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to prompt – in anger I removed my profile and attempted to set it back up again.
FAIL… After the initial enter your email box, it sat there for a few seconds then all I get is; Something went wrong. Every single time..
I checked on another computer to see if it was an account based or machine based issue. Machine issue it was, worked fine on another computer. It was at this point I realised it had stopped asking me for my account password.
Many minutes later… this fixed it for me;
Run Regedit, navigate to;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity
Create new DWORD value named EnableADAL, set its value to 0 (zero)
Also create new DWORD (in the same place), named DisableADALatopWAMOverride and set this value to 1.
Restart Outlook, yay a password box, and away we go.
Thanks Microsoft for wasting some of my life!
Hopefully this will help someone else if (or when :)) they get this issue
