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

2024-05-06T12:57:36+00:00 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.

2024-05-03T12:23:45+00:00 I have the same issue with my outlook.com account email in Outlook 2019. It seems to happen randomly and I use the same Outlook install for my comcast.net account email. No issues with the Comcast.net email. Outlook 2019 only repeatedly asks me for my Outlook.com email account password. I have no changed anything on my side (settings, password, etc.) for any of my personal email accounts. Seems lots of others have this same problem. Did Outlook/MS recently change POP mail settings recently possibly?? When will MS fix this??
