Just going through an endless login process with the Outlook add-in for Office 365 as well as the Desktop version. I have uninstalled the desktop, cleared my cache, deleted everything in all browsers, changed default browsers since the authentication window uses the default browser setting and no go. I can log in fine via the web but these other logins are no-go. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. Followed ALL the steps in the troubleshooting guide, including setting up trusted sites. Still no luck. Any suggestions ?

First artical - YES - The only difference was - allow popups (your article said to block them - I had it open) - changed that no joy

second article - only have 1 account in hubspot - just trying to set it up.

Third one - tryign to figure it out I was going through set up steps and next step was outlook set up. I can login by using Chrome and going directly to login…

Hi @aocrm,

Can you please send along a screenshot of your privacy settings within Internet Explorer?

Additionally, have you tried deleting and readding the extension since updating your privacy settings? Sometimes it takes a restart to enforce the new settings.

Thank you,  
Jenny

Thanks @aocrm!

One other question for you: do you mind confirm you’ve cleared your cache and cookies in Internet Explorer as opposed to chrome?

Just want to confirm. 🙂

Thanks,  
Jenny

Thank you for confirming @aocrm!

I understand your frustrations and appreciate your patience and help in working towards a resolution.

If you are experiencing issues when just logging into HubSpot through IE 11, let’s work on resolving that issue, as the Outlook extension does run on IE, and therefore the two issues may stem from the same root cause.

One thing worth noting is that if you have[compatibility mode enabled in IE11](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/resources/which-browsers-are-supported-by-hubspot), it will cause issues when working with HubSpot. You can resolve this issue by following the steps outlined [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17472/windows-internet-explorer-11-fix-site-display-problems-compatibility-v).

Additionally, can you collect a har file from the login process within IE11. There are instructions for how to get this file in IE [here](https://support.talis.com/hc/en-us/articles/205861801-Generating-a-har-file?mobile_site=true). You can direct message me the file once it’s collected.

Finally, if you can record a video from the login process through IE, that would be great.

Additionally, I am also seeing an inbox error for the inbox you’re trying to log in with. It looks like there is a different inbox that has been successfully connected to your account, however. I would recommend disconnecting this inbox, if it is showing as connected, and going through the log in steps. Or, if you are using the other inbox, I would recommend trying to log into the extension with the other email (after going through the steps above).

I realize this is a lot of information; I want to ensure we are working towards a resolution as quickly as possible. 🙂

Thanks,  
Jenny
