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

    Months have passed and every fix tried and I read it's not even possible to fix.

    The issue is at the MS end for sure they're turned off authentication or changed something.

    I read to reconfigure with POP3 never got that to work either.

    So now we are left with the inferior product outlook online.

    Calender function is terrible.

    Can't drag a multiday appointment the whole situation is dire.

    MS no answer....

    Paid and no longer able to use software.

    I managed somehow to get rid of the constant request to enter my password.

    My concern now is that I have to face up to the change in Outlook which I am not looking forward to. I have not used the new Outlook 365 yet and don't know what differences have come about.

    I may be asking for help at some stage..............

    I have not yet attempted to try the new Outlook system and am not looking forward to doing so. I've read several pessimistic comments about Microsoft over the last few months so time will tell whether it works for me.

    I had the same issue. I then noticed that Kaspersky anti-virus add-on, was crashing Outlook. After disabling Kaspersky, I was able to access my folders.

    Check your add-ons, in case there is one that is crashing the program.

    Thanks. I got rid of the repetitive question of adding my password and it hasn't come back.

    I am very apprehensive about the new Outlook which I haven't started using yet but will have to tackle it.
