To resolve the "Sign in Required" issue where you cannot upload or download changes due to cached credentials having expired, you can follow these steps:
- Sign out of Office: Open any Office application (like Word or Excel), go to File > Account, and select Sign out.
- Remove the user account: In the same Office application, go to the upper-right corner, select your name, and then choose Switch Account. On the Accounts screen, select Sign out for the account you want to remove.
- Clear cached credentials: You may need to edit the registry to remove cached credentials. Open the registry editor by typing
regeditin the Run dialog (Win + R). Navigate toHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity\Identitiesand delete the relevant Office account entries. - Sign back in: Restart the Office application and sign in again using your credentials.
These steps should help clear the expired cached credentials and allow you to sign in successfully.
