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

    Hi, all,

    I have this problem off an on. It's frustrating.

    Today, my office computer started non-stop asking for my pw and would not receive or send email. When I tried to fix it, the pw message stopped, and I was still not getting emails from my twc account, one of three email accounts on my office computer, home computer, and samsung phone (gmail and my own work domain).

    I could get the emails on the twc email website, on my phone (samsung s21 ultra 5g), and my home computer.

    I tried some of the recommended solutions which did not work. Checked my pw, which was the same as all my other devices.

    Finally, I discovered that my server settings were incorrect. they got changed somehow, and not by me. Maybe a windows update or an Outlook anomaly.

    I changed the server settings, and despite another error message, the email account on my office computer (Windows 11, Office 365) started working again.

    I hope this might help someone else before they create a new profile or remove and re-add the account. It's something to check early in the troubleshooting process.

    Thanks, I have decided to go to Gmail. They don't seem to have the issues of Microsoft.

    Cheers.

    Thanks. The problem of having to put the password in went away.

    My next challenge is getting my head round the changed Outlook programme. If it seems too difficult I may end up doing what you suggest.

    Thanks for your message.

    You have had a bad time by the sound of things, but glad to hear that your problem has been resolved.

    I have yet to tackle the 'new' Outlook programme. Several people have said they have gone to a different software. I don't know how things will work for me.

    I experienced this challeng for some moths without using my Outlook. I was able to fix the problem by using Option 1. through ControlPanel>Outlook>Remove your credentials from the Credential Manager. Reset Password. and Option 2. and it works.
