Office password bug found when cleaning

Hi all,

Newbie here but I've been using CCleaner for years, and love it.
I've found a bug in the last 2 versions which haven't been fixed in this latest version 6411.

I like to keep my Outlook and OneDrive Login passwords stored so I don't have the headache of Microsoft Two Form Factor passwords everytime I open Outlook..
I've removed Tick from the Box for MS Office and MS OneDrive, but it always seems to delete the password and I have to enter it again each time.
So everytime I run CCleaner and then open Outlook or restart OneDrive, it keeps asking me password.


Please could you fix this bug.

g'day Gurj and welcome.

I don't think it's a bug but something you have yet to untick or add as an exclusion.
you could start with making sure Network Passwords is not ticked under Windows Explorer.

Backup now & backup often.

It could be that they have changed the way the login page accepts passwords so that you are forced to type them, quite a few sites are doing this recently for added security.

Take a read of this that I posted on another thread yesterday:

 

*** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory ***

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:

@gurj,

are are talking about Outlook and OneDrive desktop apps or website access?

Hi,

Thanks mta. Network Passwords - fixed the issue. But shouldn't it be under a different setting. Outlook is not a Network Setting, it's a Software Setting. It would be wise to have a tick box specifically for Outlook Password and separate the 2 entities.

all you can hope for is that the Admin team (who do read these threads) takes it onboard as a suggestion.
