SharePoint Designer won’t connect to SharePoint Online

Quick post about a problem I had connecting SharePoint Designer 2013 to SharePoint Online with Modern Authentication.

The login screen would keep prompting for a login but not accept the username and password that worked when connecting via a browser.

The fix is to add the following registry key entries to enable modern authentication on Office 2013 applications.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Identity]

“Version”=dword:00000001
“EnableADAL”=dword:00000001
