After Initial Successful Authentication, Unending Loop While Logging into Lync Using Wrong Username and Password

After successfully authenticating to the Office 365 client, if you attempt to log in to the Lync client by using an incorrect username and password, the Lync client uses the details from the previous successful session and tries to get a token from Access Manager. This results in an unending loop.

To resolve this issue, in the Lync client user interface, select the Delete my sign-in info option and log in again.
