I have the same problem outlined in this forum thread – my Outlook shows the "Need Password" in the status bar:
But if I click it nothing happens, no dialog appears. There is also this button "Type Exchange Password & Connect":
If I click it a dialog briefly appears but then disappears. If I restart Outlook (close then open it) this fixes the problem for a time but then it appears again.
How do I manage to enter my account password so it stops asking me for it?

A collection of various known Outlook fixes for login problems :
Outlook.exe /safe
and enter the ids if asked.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity
, create a DWORD item namedEnableADAL
and set it to zero.DisableADALatopWAMOverride
and set it to1
. See Microsoft article.Undo fixes which didn't help. You might also create a system restore point before starting.
