Windows 10: Why is it that everytime I open Word it requires me to sign in even though I have to use a...

I am really fed up with this as it never recognises a password that I have set the following time I try to access Word it keeps sayimg that the email or password are wrong which they can't be as I WRITE THEM DOWN.


Also why can I not disable the necessity to log in on my laptop even though there is an example that tells me to access this in your previous information?

password sign in

Hi,

About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Office 365 requires sign in everytime now - started last week

Our family has the 365 five-pack plan, and we all use the Office apps everyday. Last week my wife's Office apps started requiring sign ons every time she starts them - Word is where we noticed it first, but it happens on everything.

My Office apps do not do this.

We have tried:
The credential manager fix (deleting all passwords)
The delete "Identity" folder in the registry
Logging onto the online account
Reinstalling the entire Office suite
Changing to a local account on the computer
...pretty much any fix listed on the internet.

We have always used them not signed in for two years without issue. And mine still works without siging in.

 

Word opening files as Document1, Document2

This was the ticket. The .docx extension was associated with a word document template file type.

I used Nirsoft's File Types Manager software to correct this and now everything works fine.

That is, I open the document itself (not two copies or one copy), for reading or editing, if I:

• Double-click on the file which I usually do
• Right-click on the file and pick "open with > Word"
• Right-click on the file and pick "open"

Prior to your help and my fixing it, only the third option above worked.

Big thanks.
