When I try to log into my companies Office 365 account on Big Sur I'm getting a blank screen where it says "Enter the password for the account".

There should be a Microsoft login screen / a security check.

Anyone else have this issue? Or know a solution?

Big Sur—Microsoft recently announced that it was officially ending support for Office 2016 for Mac on October 13, 2020. Apple Silicon compatibility in Office 2016 is questionable.

The current Office for Mac; Office 365 or Office 2019 (One-time purchase) are OK with Catalina/Big Sur

I have the same problem.

Just a white screen where the login screen should be.

This is when trying to add Exchange (Office365) through the Internet Accounts screen.
