Why can't I sign in or getting "Not Authenticated" when I start MailMerge365?
If you start MailMerge365 and receive an error stating "Not Authenticated" this happens mostly with browsers or browser plugin that have strict cookie settings. This affects most Office plugins and add-ins when using Outlook for the Web (not just MailMerge365).
How to fix in general? See below for specific browsers.
- Try a different browser or use incognito mode (also called private browsing in some browsers) in your preferred browser.
- Try disabling plugins (e.g. Privacy Enhancers, Privacy Blockers, Anti-Virus) may help or for some plugins you can select the option "Trust this site" or "Allow site" while visiting the Outlook website. If you try this we recommend going into incognito mode and then deactivating the plugins one by one, then refreshing the page to see the effect. This lets you identify which plugin was causing the issue and perform a fix outside of the incognito window (using your normal browsing window).
- Turn off third-party cookie blocking as described here: https://support.panopto.com/s/article/How-to-Enable-Third-Party-Cookies-in-Supported-Browsers
