First, double-check that you’re using the right Microsoft 365 account. Lots of people have more than one—maybe a personal Microsoft account plus a work or school one. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support. If you encounter this error – Sorry, we are having temporary server issues, then chances are that the issue lies at Microsoft’s end. After you fix the GUID problem, Windows should link the account and Office 365 properly again. Most of the time, you’ll be able to sign in without those annoying failures.
Advanced Solutions for Persistent Issues
We see businesses run into this problem all the time, and it’s a real pain when you can’t get into your email, Teams, or any other Microsoft 365 service. Let’s run through some quick checks, common fixes, and a few advanced tricks so you can get back to what you need to do. We’re sorry, but we cannot change your password at this time. If you are using an outdated web browser or Office app, it can create compatibility issues, which eventually lead to Microsoft 365 sign-in problems.
Troubleshooting Common Sign-In Problems
Modern authentication boosts security, but sometimes it stops the password prompt from popping up in Office apps. In some cases on Windows 11 or 10, switching back to legacy authentication does the trick. Microsoft has a built-in sign-in troubleshooter that can spot and fix common authentication problems. This tool comes in handy for Windows 11, where new authentication settings or local setup quirks might get in the way.

Restart, then log in with the new account and open an Office app. If the password prompt shows up like it should, your old profile was probably corrupted.

How can I manage password resets across multiple devices effectively?
Run it, follow the instructions, and let it scan for issues with cached tokens, registry settings, or system policies. Even if your credentials are fine, your Microsoft 365 account won’t work if your subscription is inactive or your license isn’t set up right. A user who recently had an administrator reset their password can't sign in to on-premises Active Directory by using the new password. If your subscription has expired, your account is disabled, or your IT admin has blocked your account, in all these cases, you would not be able to log in to your account. If clearing credentials doesn’t do the trick, your Office installation might be corrupted.
