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

    I'm having the same issue but I'm not nearly as good at sorting through these computer issues as all of you. I'm a 60 year old HVAC contractor! It's so frustrating that these sorts of things keep happening as a result of some sort of "upgrade"...and getting on the chatbot marry-go-round just adds to the frustration. It's frustrating that I essentially need an I.T. person to do the same tasks I previously could do on my own. Don't even get me started on license subscriptions.

    1 through 3 did not do anything. The box to Always prompt was already not checked. Pop up continued. The 4th solution, creating a new profile, making it the default and entering the credentials and restarting stopped the pop up.

    Shouldn't I go back and remove the obsolete profile?

    Thanks

    It looks like MS is retiring Outlook and i think this is the real reason this has stopped working

    If you using Windows 10 or Windows 11 go to Windows Settings (press Win + I ), > Windows Update > Advanced Settings and turn on the ''Receive updates for other Microsoft Products'' after that start Windows Update and wait for Windows to get the updates. This should fix your problem,

    Unfortunately I can not say anything about Windows 8.1 or lower versions like 7 or Vista.
