Hi @David Essex
In addition to the fingerprint verification method, does this issue also occur with password method?
Besides, please sign into the portal: www.office.com for a check.
If this issue only occur with Office applications, you may go to Credential Manager> Windows Credentials, remove the related credentials of the account.
You may also perform an Online Repair for Office from Control Panel.
