Using Outlook for Android in business environments for email and scheduling
It is still asking. Using an app password works sometimes but only for short periods.

I have the Blackberry Hub and associated apps (password keeper, calendar, mail etc.) Installed on my android phone. For the last week when I open mail, I get a pop up asking me to verify my credentials for my hotmail account. It takes me to the account management screen where I have to enter my password. When I do so, I get the same pop up asking for credentials again. However, at certain points during the day, the account works fine and I get mail. This has happened before, but either entering my password worked, or it corrected itself the same day or next. I also have my Gmail and Sympatico email accounts in the Blackberry mail hub, as well as text messages, WhatsApp and Instagram . They all work fine. Since many other ppl have had the same issues with their hotmail account, it's definitely not the Blackberry Hub and Services that are causing the problem. Since you are in the process of transferring Windows mail to Outlook, which will affect hotmail accounts but not gmail etc., I'm wondering if this is the problem. My hotmail account works in Outlook and when I log in on the internet. I don't have a problem switching my hotmail account to Outlook, but I still want it to appear in my Blackberry mail hub.

It does suck. I think it was a fluke. I've been trying off and on and was totally surprised when I got in. You might get lucky in the future if you keep trying every 3 or 4 days
HI,
I tried but it failed yet again. I've tried everything and I'm fed up with this issue.
The two factor sign-in and app specific generated passwords don't work either
I've literally spent more time on this than working one day!
I'm using my temporary work around and I get everything on the hub that I need except my Hotmail email
I go to outlook for that when I have to
Sucks but I'm resigned to it now

Tony. I tried getting into my hotmail account a few minutes ago, and it appears to have worked. Don't know how long it will last, but you might be able to add back in your account.
