Answer 1

Hi @gogi100

Generally, the options in Office apps, we are unable to remove, as they are by design.

Based on my knowledge, the ‘form-based sign-in' is an updated feature in Microsoft 365 apps that rolled out by the end of February 2020.
I suggest you open Office 2016 or 2019 apps on workstations both in work environment and test environment, go to File > Account > Product information, check the version numbers.

Please also go to Trust Center Settings > Trusted Locations, please add the documents path, you can also tick the box of 'Allow Trusted Locations on my network'.
