No need to install a new build, just need to leave the Insider Koerner thank you for the feedback. If you'd like to go back to the previous auth flow, please uncheck the Insider checkbox in AutoUpdate (Help > Check for Updates) and relaunch Outlook. If you're experiencing another issue, please reach out within Outlook via Help menu > Contact Support. This will successfully redirect back to the Outlook app and authentication will complete.

For Chrome, the dialog stays up but after the page loads the button to "Open Microsoft Outlook.app" no longer works. The dialog presented by the browser to redirect back to Outlook is only staying up for 3 seconds in Safari. We're investigating an issue where the browser is redirecting to after about 3 seconds after clicking "Allow" in the permissions page in the browser (this is after successfully authenticating in the browser). : Please ensure the "User name" field contains the full email address and matches "E-mail address" field in Account preferences for your Google Account configured via IMAP.
