In the super rare occasions that this doesn’t solve the issue with Microsoft Office sign-in loops, you can try some of the other solutions below.
Disable Any Extensions and try to Sign in to Microsoft Office
If clearing the cache and cookies doesn’t work, try disabling your browser extensions. Occasionally, an extension can interfere with the sign-in process. Turn off all extensions, then try signing in again. If you’re successful, re-enable extensions one by one to find the one causing the issue.
Reset or Reinstall your Browser
If the problem is still there, it's time to try resetting or reinstalling your browser. To reset, go to your browser’s settings and select the Reset option. For reinstalling, uninstall the browser, restart your computer, and then install the latest version of your browser. This should eliminate any corrupted settings causing the issue.
Reset the Microsoft Office App and the Microsoft Store App
If you are using the app rather than the web version you can try the following steps.
- Open the Settings app on your computer and go to Apps, then find the 365 app.
- Next, click Advanced Options, then scroll down the list and click click Reset (let it reset)
After this, you'll need to sign back into your account. But this time it should be working again without constantly asking you to sign in.

The sign-in loop is often related to issues in your browser’s cookies or cache, particularly in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge. Though Firefox can be affected, it’s less common. The exact cause is unclear but appears to involve a corrupted cache or cookies. These simple fixes can resolve the problem and prevent future sign-in loops.
If you need a quick workaround, try a different browser. Firefox may work better if you’re experiencing issues in a Chromium-based browser.
