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

    Disable the Always prompt for login option: Open Outlook and navigate to File > Account Settings > Account Settings. Select your email account and click Change. Click More Settings, then navigate to the Security tab. Uncheck the box next to Always prompt for login credentials and click OK.

    When you select change, there is not even a more settings option or a security tab, so maybe need to have this looked into the next update.

    This is driving me made this issue, completely unusable software, and will not be renewing in January.

    Microsoft - ever heard of the phrase 'If it's not broken - DON'T fix it!!!'

    I have tried absolutely everything but my Outlook email account, a full pay version won’t work.

    It seems that I’ll need to leave Microsoft Office and Outlook, migrate to Google.

    I’ve noticed that Microsoft seems to mess up ordinary utility with updates,

    Not fit fir purpose, not of merchantable quality and sad to see such a dramatic deterioration in the quality of software.

    I was having the same issue using Outlook 2010 and I also upgrade to the New Outlook (Outlook 2021). It is working but as Christopher Baker1 says there is not as much functionality. Also I don't like the New look, it looks more like a web interface.

    Still the same issue new profile - windows updates applied office updates applied - re installed rebooted - deleted profile from registry - what an absolute pain the backside this error.

    I DO BELIEVE THIS OUT OF OUR CONTROL -

    Same issue on two devices works then doesn't work - no config changes then all of a sudden it springs to life MS must have done something at their end and the fact that they are pushing outlook web there would appear to be a move not to fix this issue.

    How would you actually get a ticket logged for this - we have paid for the product its still in support so why is this still an issue

    We are being forced of out look and the new version online lacks all the features -

    I'm having the same issue but I'm not nearly as good at sorting through these computer issues as all of you. I'm a 60 year old HVAC contractor! It's so frustrating that these sorts of things keep happening as a result of some sort of "upgrade"...and getting on the chatbot marry-go-round just adds to the frustration. It's frustrating that I essentially need an I.T. person to do the same tasks I previously could do on my own. Don't even get me started on license subscriptions.
