Learning has never been so easy!

So, I was having this BRUTALLY annoying issue on my macs (when I work from home, I work on my mac) where, every time I launched Outlook 2016, I would be prompted to login with my credentials.. Just super annoying and unnecessary.

Theres a ton of documentation on 'how to fix this' but a lot of it misses an important step (also, a facepalm step).

Here’s how to hook up your email account to Outlook, using either POP3 or IMAP.

Step 1: Open the Keychain

May 20, 2019  In Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac running on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10) or later versions, you cannot set Outlook as the default application.

Theres a bunch of ways to do it, but ultimately, the easiest way is to press CMD+Space, to open spotlight, then search 'Keychain Access'.

Search 'Exchange' under Login --> All Items and delete everything (NOT EVERYTHING - take a look and make sure you're only deleting entries that are in some way related to Microsoft)

Search 'Office' and delete everything
Search 'ADAL' and delete everything

Step 3: Open Outlook & Login

Yea, I know, we're trying to fix this - but you have to log in this ONE more time..

Step 4: Open Outlook Preferences from the menu

Click Outlook -> Preferences in the menu bar

Step 5: Open Accounts

Open the Accounts Section..

Step 6: Finally.. Add your password

Seriously - this is critical! Add your password in the password field for the account in question, then close the preferences window.

NOW - when you restart Outlook you SHOULD NOT have to login!

While this isn't the most difficult or pressing issue in the world, it most definitely is annoying! I hope this guide helps some folks!

    Thanks for posting, but the login box still appears. A question -- when I searched Exchange, should I delete the Private Exchange Key (two of them) and Public Exchange Key (also two files)?

    A couple of steps we added to our recipe to workaround this longstanding issue:

    Sounds similar to what we did above right? Microsoft virtual wifi miniport adapter change mac address.

    - Open Keychain Access > View > Show Invisible Items
    - After deleting entries in Keychain related to office, exchange, and adal > restart computer.
    - In Keychain > lock the login entry.
    - Open Outlook > input password to allow access to Keychain again
    - Continue with steps to input password into the password textbox under Tools > Accounts > mailbox(es) having issues
    - Restart Outlook
