Outlook 2013 keeps asking for my outlook.com password

To create the registry subkey, open the regedit.exe app as administrator and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity". In the regedit menu bar select "Edit" and then "New" from the drop-down list. Select "DWORD" from the list displayed when you click on "New". Assign the new "DWORD" the name "EnableADAL" and give it a value of 1.

I was premature in concluding that the addition of this subkey would solve the problem. Immediately after I added the subkey, Outlook seemed to work fine, but the next day the problem reoccurred. At this point I am not sure how to resolve the problem of Outlook 2013 not connecting to the server and repeatedly asking for a password.

Search doesn't find that string on windows 11 ....

Hi, How do you add this registry key? When looking at the registry I only find disable.....

Thanks, adding the registry key HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\EnableADAL as you described solved the problem for me. Outlook 2013 running in Win 10 Pro now auto logs on to Microsoft Exchange without repeatedly asking for a password. Don't know why Microsoft didn't notify Outlook 2013 users of this in advance or automatically make the registry fix via an automated software update.

Hello

I'm not sure I understand your comment. I was saying that I had changed my Gmail password and Outlook would no longer connect to Gmail, constantly asking for a password. There are lots of conflicting comments about this on here. However, it appears that the problem is with 2-factor authorisation, which of course you can't use with just a simple password. So, you need an "app password", and the link I gave shows how to do that for Gmail. My Outlook now coonects to Gmail perfectly. I will need to do this again every time I change the Gmail password.
