Logging in

On SharePoint Online, the add-in attempts to log you in using your Office 365 account, displaying an authentication window to confirm your identity.

In some cases, your browser may not open the necessary window because of security settings. If you do not see the authentication window, temporarily disable the pop-up blocker in your browser.
