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

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
