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

My problem cleared up months ago, but I haven't yet got onto the new Outlook. Putting it off but one day soon I'll have to tackle it.
So, i am very much struggling with the repeated password request! I need my outlook accounts to be installed in MAPI format. I use the published Microsoft settings to set up the account (e.g. #######@hotmail.co.uk) and it doesn’t matter if I use my account password or a generated app specific password i cannot get the account to install on outlook classic on my PC. It just keeps asking for a password and tells me the, ‘ the link to the incoming server has failed’. No issues with outlook on my ipad.
Outlook New is not an option for me.
Thank you for your reply. My issue with the password was resolved months ago and is hasn't returned.
