I'm trying to export a video file via my PowerPoint video presentation and it asks for my d.docs.live.net password and username. What is this? How can I find this? Thanks.

    Save the presentation and exported video to a local folder such as Documents; the d.docs.live.net prompt is associated with OneDrive access and is not a separate username or password required by PowerPoint’s video export.

    Export without the OneDrive prompt

    1. In PowerPoint, select File → Save As → Browse.
    2. Choose a local folder such as Documents—not a folder under OneDrive—and save the .pptx.
    3. Select File → Export → Create a Video.
    4. Choose the video quality and whether to use recorded timings and narration.
    5. Select Create Video.
    6. In the Save dialog:
      • Choose the local Documents folder.
      • Select MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4) or Windows Media Video (*.wmv).
      • Select Save.

    PowerPoint supports creating the video locally first and uploading it afterward only if desired.^1^

    To make local storage the default for future files, open File → Options → Save, enable Save to Computer by default, and set Default local file location to a folder outside OneDrive.^2^

    If you want to keep using OneDrive

    There is no special d.docs.live.net password to locate. Sign in with the email address and password for the personal Microsoft account connected to that OneDrive—not the Windows Hello PIN.

    1. Select the OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows notification area.
    2. If it shows that OneDrive is disconnected, select it and enter the Microsoft-account email address and password.^3^
    3. Reopen the locally saved presentation and retry the export.

    Do not enter credentials if the prompt appears unexpected or does not clearly belong to Windows, Office, or OneDrive; cancel it and use the local-export method instead.

    If OneDrive repeatedly requests credentials

    Windows Credential Manager can display and remove saved credentials used by connected applications:

    1. Search Windows for Credential Manager.
    2. Open Credential Manager Control Panel.
    3. Review Windows Credentials and Web Credentials for obsolete OneDrive or Microsoft-account entries.
    4. Remove only an entry clearly associated with the affected old or incorrect account, then restart OneDrive and sign in again.^4^

    Avoid deleting unrelated credentials because doing so can sign other applications or network resources out.
