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

2024-08-14T08:18:07+00:00 Sorry but I can't get this to work. Outlook keeps on asking for a password for my hotmail.co.uk account. Using a fresh app specific password all i get on incoming is, 'can not establish encrypted nor unencrypted link'. Then on Outlook shut-down I get this greyed out, 'Outlook is closing' on the task bar and the only way to shut down is through the task manager.

Thank you for sharing this recommended fix. Interesting. I will apply these steps and then monitor the results over the next few days to see if the relentless "asking for password" issue remains suppressed!
