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

    Yes like I said, I did not like the look of it but it got me back up and running without the constant nagging for my password and I had access to all my stuff again. I don't understand why they constantly change something that works and change the functionality that has been there for years and make you have to re-learn how to do things that you have done for years only to do it their way. Now I no longer have a clean looking app that I knew where everything was and how to use it and now have to basically look at a web page.

    The new Outlook is garbage. It is just a wrapper for the web client.

    Out of absolute frustration, I've been searching for a replacement email client for Outlook for some time. Taking my time, looking at all features etc...

    I am currently trialing "eM Client" - so far with great success, connecting to my own Exchange server (on premises). I refuse to be forced into the cloud by Microsoft,

    I will report back here with my findings to try and help the community out.

    What I finally did was download their New Outlook client from the Microsoft app store and installed it. It pulled in all the contacts and emails from the old version of Outlook 2010 client I was running. Since then it has not asked me for the password. However I don't care for the look of the new Outlook.

    Microsoft, just please effing MAKE THIS STOP!!!

    It has been a constantly problem on BOTH my computers. Nothing in this thread has ever worked to solve it. I've nuked and reset the Outlook profile multiple times on both machines. I have ran with O365 mail accounts from 3 different domains in Outlook for YEARS and never had a problem until about the last year. Sometimes I can go a week without being prompted for credentials. Other times like today it will do it half a dozen times a day on EVERY account.

    I have specifically had to BLOCK MFA from deploying on 2 business domains because of this constant issue. This bug is effectively resulting a massive security hole because it would be completely unusable with MFA active and the constant login prompts (I tried it for a week before I had to go in and disable it in a rage).

    I'm seriously considering abandoning O365 and MS over this and the future of "new Outlook".
