Overview
Follow these steps if you are having trouble signing into Outlook with your Microsoft 365 account.
Step 1 - Start with the onmicrosoft.com Address
- First, try signing in using the @myorg.onmicrosoft.com format email address
- Example: joe@myorg.onmicrosoft.com
- Use the same password as your normal email account
NOTE: This sign-in attempt will fail — this is expected and part of the process.
Step 2 - Fresh Authentication Session
This failed attempt will open a fresh authentication session inside the Outlook app, which is required for the next step to work correctly.
Step 3 - Sign In with Your Correct Credentials
- Outlook will now prompt you to sign in again
- This time, enter your correct email address in the standard format
- Example: joe@mydomain.com
- Enter your normal email password
Outlook will now redirect and complete the sign-in process without issues.
Notes
- This method works by forcing Outlook to reset its authentication session before accepting your correct credentials
