Keychain Pop Up with Microsoft Office

Each time I open a MS Office application on my iMac I get a pop up asking me to enter a password and hit Allow (or Deny). I have no idea what this password is related to as I never set one up. The system admin password does not work. Anyway, I click Deny about a dozen times and it goes away. How do I eliminate this pop up or fix this? Thanks!

Why does microsoft sharepoint keep asking for keychain access Each time I start up my Mac and log in, a window pops up (about 100 times) saying "Microsoft SharePoint wants to use your confidential information stored in "OneDrive..." (see attached). None of the buttons helps (nor does entering my login password and then clicking "allow" or "always allow") - the window keeps popping right back up. Only clicking "deny" a hundred times finally gets rid of it. I don't even WANT to use Microsoft SharePoint - but I also cannot eliminate it from the login items - everytime I click the "-" sign to get rid of it and then restart, it is right back there (with the "hide" button checked). Anybody have an idea how to make this go away? (This happens without starting ANY Microsoft 365 app - just logging into my MacBook Air running Monterrey 12.6.7)

Persistent popup windows asking for a password I don't have. I upgraded ,my Microsoft Word app and now I keep getting popup windows from Microsoft Word and Keychain Access asking for a password. I tried every password in my keychain for Microsoft and none of them work. Word still works but the popup windows annoyingly will not go away. How can I get rid of them?

If this is only occurring with your Microsoft Office app, I would recommend contacting the Microsoft hosted Office for Mac forums.

Good luck.
