Before you troubleshoot
First, make sure that users follow the correct steps when they sign in to Skype for Business Online. If users are signing in to Skype for Business Online correctly and the issue persists, use one or more of the other methods later in this article to troubleshoot the issue, as appropriate for your situation.

Important
Before you perform the next step, try reproduce the issue by using a new test user account. If the issue doesn't repeat in the new account, then follow these steps:
Federated users synchronized from on-premises Active Directory Domain Services can't sign in by using a password that's longer than 16 characters
Organizations that have on-premises customer password policies may allow for passwords to exceed 16 characters. By default, the password policy in Office 365 restricts passwords to 16 characters or less. Because of the Windows Challenge/Response (NTLM) authentication mechanism in the Mac OS, passwords that are longer than 16 characters aren't recognized correctly, and this causes sign-in to fail.
To work around this issue, the user should change his or her password to be 16 characters or less.
