Automatically signin a user to office 365

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it's possible to auto signin a user to office365 when they open Word 2016?

Currently they get a login box for authentication, but I assume there is a way to simply use their current credentials.

Thanks.

The login box should have a remember me type tick box, tick it.

The only time I have to login to word, excel etc is when my password has been changed.

Thanks, typical the minute I post on here I stumble across a microsoft blog post. Seems we need to upgrade our ADConnect software to the latest version to make SSO work.

You need to use ADFS or a third party SSO solution such as Okta. Often deploy both and happy to answer any questions if you have any.

Yep, like I mentioned in the above post. It's a great feature, which once was a paid for option.
