Shaggar posted:I don't use outlook so idk. are you using different accounts for outlook and office? they probably setup outlook to use the current creds from the rest of office instead of treating it as a separate app which suits the needs of 90% of clients but probably not anyone with multiple accounts. lol I don't have a second account I want office to be signed into no accounts at all

oh they must have merged the licensing systems or something. if its a work computer just use your 365 account in office. if its not a work computer, remove your 365 account from outlook and uninstall outlook.

infernal machines posted:huh. i am definitely not signed in to an office account, and i am definitely online with exchange This might be something configured at an account-level, I'm not sure. Here's what happens for me: 1. Open outlook, sign in to exhcnage/o365 if not already signed in 2. Open Word. Observe that you're now signed into word/office as your o365 user 3. Click sign out in file/account in word 4. Close word and outlook 5. Open outlook. You're prompted to sign in before the splash screen even goes away 6. Open word and observe that you're signed into word/office again  Further: Setting up group policy to disallow office sign-ins makes it impossible to connect to o365/exchange or to even add the account

Release your poo poo wherever you want, but it has to be signed by a certificate issued by an EV certificate authority.
