Outlook, To-do asking to sign in every day on Android phone

  • Android, Microsoft 365, Signin

Introduction

For the past couple of months, I have been battling an issue on my phone.

Each morning I start Outlook up and it hangs for a moment and then prompts me to sign into Microsoft 365. The same behaviour is seen with To-do and the office apps were not behaving as well as I would like and cache old data.

I have seen lots of other people experiencing the issue as well and a few other posts on Microsoft community sites asking for help.

Well, it occurred to me that I had set the Android developer mode, which might be causing the problem. I switched this off a few days ago and since then I have not been asked to re-sign into Outlook or any of the Microsoft 365 Apps. Additionally, my phone, not surprisingly is much faster!

I remember switching this one when using screen casting software to present my mobile in a presentation.

Here is how to switch it off

How to switch off Android Developer Mode

To switch off do the following:

  • Open the settings app
  • Scroll to the bottom of the settings app and choose System -> Developer options
  • Disable the Developer options by toggling the switch to off.
Developer options is enabled
Developer options switched off

Conclusion

I hope if you have this problem, it solves your issue.

Since switching this off I have not had the issue with Outlook or any of the other Microsoft 365 app asking to sign-in.

Please let me know if it does or does not via the comments.

Switching on Android Development

You can enable Android developer mode by doing the following:

  • Open the settings app
  • Scroll to the bottom of the settings app and choose System -> About phone
  • Click on the build number seven times
  • You will be asked to put in your pin number.
  • The developer mode option is enabled and available by closing the Settings app and choosing Settings-> System.
