Why does Microsoft Outlook keep asking for Password

Why does Microsoft Outlook keeps constantly asking for Password. I even had to change my password thinking it would help. It didn't. Even after I enter password, still continues prompting me to enter password. Just does not go away. And it is also affecting my account with Spectrum Roadrunner to perform other functions that I was able to do without having to enter a password. This problem just recently started and Spectrum can't help since it's a Microsoft issue causing the problem. Tried to get help by calling Microsoft by using the recommended website since I'm unable to get a live person to talk to, but the website Microsoft is directing to go for HELP wants to charge a Fee plus a monthly fee. We purchased Microsoft. Didn't use to have this issue

    Edit : the solution below was only a temporary one. :-(

    I may have found a solution to this recurring and very annoying problem.

    It starts from solution 3 above.

    Here is the path I followed: File > Account Settings > Account Settings. I then selected my email account and clicked Change (or Modify) in the list of options above**.**

    Then under the box stating "Use Cached Exchange Mode to download email to an Outlook data file ", I reduced the time span under which Outlook is requested to download the emails left in my inbox. It sounds that if you ask to download emails since the beginning, then you are in trouble. You need to find the optimal time span, between a few days and a few years, depending I suppose on the size of your inbox.

    I tried to unchek the "Use Cached Exchange..." box, and at first it worked well, but after a few days it provoked some instability.

    Hope this will work for others.

    Ps : I am using Office 2021.

    Yes, we are talking about Outlook (2016, 2019, etc.). I am using Office 2019 but it appears that people using other versions of stand-alone Office (w/ Outlook) and possible Office 365 (subscription-based) have this issue, too.
