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

    Microsoft, we all know your focus is on Office 365 and SaaS. However, please respect your customers who have paid for the local Outlook client for the great user interface that it provides. You owe your customers a duty of care and a modicum of respect (please) to look into what is causing this at the backend. Clearly changes in the backend mail settings and the way the Outlook client is trying to connect are causing issues with the Outlook local client on people's machines. These issues are not "user error". These issues we are all experiencing with our Outlook local PC client mail interface application have appeared at the same time for all of us. Please assign a small team to look into this and get it resolved for us. It is so frustrating having this issue (still) which is causing the Outlook local client product to not work correctly for all of us collectively!

    I'm using an on premises Exchange server, these issues only started when that server was updated with latest patches. I'm only seeing the issue with Outlook running on Windows 11 machines, all of which are enterprise edition.

    I too have not messed with my settings.

    Overnight I built a brand new machine - brand new local login (thought signing in with MS account - as this is forced so heavily these days). Same issue. Was fine for about 2 hours - then suddenly. BAM - enter your password.

    I might try a fresh machine with no MS account - just a local user account.

    I was having the same issue using Outlook 2010 and I also upgrade to the New Outlook (Outlook 2021). It is working but as Christopher Baker1 says there is not as much functionality. Also I don't like the New look, it looks more like a web interface.
