SharePoint Designer Login Issues
Issue 1
Issue 2
Cause
Office 2013, including SharePoint Designer 2013, is not configured to use ADAL
Resolution for SharePoint Designer login Issue 1 and 2
Of late we have been experiencing the same issue in SharePoint Designer login with O365 account. Investigating into it reveals that Office 2013, the common part where SharePoint Designer 2013 is a member of, is not configured to use ADAL (Modern or MFA Authentication)
Anyways, to fix this issue, set the value of the EnableADAL registry key to 1 and check the Version registry key. For the two registry keys, see Enable Modern Authentication for Office 2013 on Windows devices.
Step 1: Verify your Admin access in the SharePoint site
Step 2
Check SharePoint Designer version and make sure you have the latest one. Or else please use these two links to update the SharePoint designer https://support.microsoft.com/help/3114721
Clear the local cache files of Designer:
1. Close SharePoint Designer 2013.
2. On the local computer, remove all files found in each of the following folders.
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
Open SharePoint Designer 2013 and enter the account again to see if it works.
Step 3
enable modern authentication for any Windows devices that have Office 2013 installed https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/security-and-compliance/enable-modern-authentication. This might help to resolve the issue.
You can also check this MS forum link. It has the answer in more detail.
Step 4: Mandatory
Administrators will need to Allow Custom Script in the SharePoint Admin Center settings to allow the SharePoint Designer connection. See Allow or prevent custom script for more information.
Finally

if you have followed all the steps, it should work!
