why does a hyperlink in excel gets redirected to a login page? 

This should not happen at all - and please don't say its something else - This is an Excel issue that I want resolved not a hack or workaround Microsoft.

Hi Dave,

And I’d like to explain that sign in requirement is expected behavior when you click some links that are related to some services(e.g. link of SharePoint sites). And the sign in page will not exist after you click Save Password on the browser prompt info. (Please do that on your trusted device only.) Thanks for your understanding. Here are my test steps:

I type a hyperlink of my site in one workbook and I meet the sign in page when I click that link:

After I clicking Save Password button of Safari prompt info and the Yes button on the stay sign in prompt page, I can access my site directly without sign in my account and password: 

 If it is not your  scenario, please share with me more info as below to let me have a better understanding of your scenario:

  1. Which kind of hyperlink do you use?
  2. Screenshot of your sign in page.

Regards,

Neo
