Hello Kiran Minnasandram

Sorry you’re unable to access your Personal Vault.

On a Mac, Personal Vault should be accessed through OneDrive on the web using the latest version of Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Firefox.

Could you please confirm:

What happens when you select Personal Vault?
Do you receive an error message or verification prompt?
Does it work in a browser InPrivate window or on another device?

If there are any error messages that appeared, please share the exact error message.

Feel free reply back to this post and update me on this issue, I'll be happy to help.

Hi Kiran Minnasandram

Can you please help me by downloading Firefox and try to open it there.
Also please try on Edge or Chrome as well if possible - not just Safari.

Thank you for your time

Hi Kiran Minnasandram

Thank you for testing the other browsers and sharing the screenshot.

The screenshot confirms the**“unlockRequired”** error when OneDrive attempts to open Personal Vault.

Since the same error occurs across Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari, this does not appear to be limited to one browser. Personal Vault requires an additional identity-verification step before it can be opened.

At this stage, please contact Microsoft Support for further assistance:
