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
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
this about sums up the issue between outlook classic and new perfectly. One can only hope that MS support are paying attention!?!?!?
I have the same problem as Barry. The problem arose after I decided to try the new Outlook.
After I tried the new Outlook and switched back, classic Outlook started asking for a password all the time (even after successfully authenticating with the Microsoft Authenticator app). Outlook stopped syncing my profile, while two other profiles (Google and Work and school account) sync normally, fortunately for them I did not try the new Outlook
I just did what you suggested and it did NOT work, in fact, now can't even access outlook!!!
"Remove your credentials from the Credentials Manager: Open the Control Panel and navigate to User Accounts > Credential Manager. Under Windows Credentials, locate any entries for Outlook and click Remove. Restart Outlook and enter your login credentials again"
This does NOT work. In fact, it will deny you access to your outlook pst file!!! Clearly, you are suggesting things you've never done yourself. Shame on YOU!
I had the same issue. I uninstalled MS Office 2016 Pro Plus completely and went over the control panel in the mail section if I can call it that. I set up the profiles, and I believe that solved the issue. Fingers crossed. There have been no pop-ups yet.
Disable the Always prompt for login option: Open Outlook and navigate to File > Account Settings > Account Settings. Select your email account and click Change. Click More Settings, then navigate to the Security tab. Uncheck the box next to Always prompt for login credentials and click OK.
When you select change, there is not even a more settings option or a security tab, so maybe need to have this looked into the next update.
This is driving me made this issue, completely unusable software, and will not be renewing in January.
Microsoft - ever heard of the phrase 'If it's not broken - DON'T fix it!!!'
