If an EWS server does not have a password, and a password-based auth method is configured, the code prompts the user for a new password and retries no matter what the user does. This means if the user just exits the prompt (e.g. by pressing the Escape key), the password stays empty and the user is stuck in an endless retry loop.
A workaround would be to submit a new password, wait for the next prompt and cancel from there.
