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

    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.

    Thank you for your email. My problem with the "password" repetitive requests was solved some time ago but I cannot quite remember how it happened.

    I have to say that although I have had a message to update my Outlook account I have not yet done so, but have noted the name of the one you have chosen to use so that might help when I do it. Thank you.

    I got a message from Microsoft last week that I had to make changes due to security reasons that I'd lose access to my Outlook.com email through Outlook 2019. It said only the newer versions of Outlook (such as Office 365 and some non-MS programs) were compatible after last Sunday. So, I moved my Outlook.com email account from Outlook 2019 to Mozilla Thunderbird. I no longer have the issues with needing to re-enter my password now. I now use Outlook 2019 for my other email accounts (not Outlook.com). Problem solved.

    I managed to get my "password" problem solved, many months ago now, and I cannot remember how it happened!

    I have to admit that I have not taken up the new Outlook - it put me off when I started to look at it. I suppose I'll have to start it sometime, but I'm not very good at understanding all the technical language. Good luck with yours.

    Thanks for your response to the "password" problem.

    I am thankful to say that mine was resolved some time ago now and I can't remember how it happened! Sometimes I find that I've been trying to fix something and it happens so quickly that I have difficulty realising how it happened.
