After a local windows password change, OneDrive for business stopped working with error
- the server you are trying to access is using an authentication protocol not supported
This error also kept pooping up during random times (guessing onedrive was trying to do a Sync)
Turns out the cached password is not updated in the Windows credential manager.
To Solve
Go to:
- Control Panel
- User Accounts
- Credential Manager
- Windows Credentials
- Look for the credential thats named like Microsoft* and on expanding the username matching the one you use to login
- Delete this credential. If in doubt, you can delete all of them and no harm is done as windows will ask for the credentials again as needed
- Now, go to onedrive.com, and login as usual. Once on the One Drive page, click Sync
- this should open your local OneDrive for buiness app and it should start normally at this time
I encountered this problem with Office 2016 on Windows 10, and this might be a problem for other versions of Office as well
