I have this problem - Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password - and i think it is a growing World wide Microsoft problem :-(

See also here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/19dx64p/outlook_2013_windows_10_suddenly_not_accepting/Outlook gives me this: (startede yesterday)

I have 2 PC's with HOTMAIL accounts in Outlook 2016 ...

They both have this error.

I do get mails ... but I can´t send mails. Yesterday it did work for 1-2 hours ... but right now the error is there all the time :-(

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Pierre

    I would suggest anyone with non-resolved issue should send an email to Gabriel Bratton (see his previous post with it) with the email and configuration they are having the problem with.

    I haven't had any issue on 9Folders since I deleted all my MS accounts (making sure to back up settings first) and re-added them.

    Thunderbird issues were sorted by changing the server name to outlook.office365.com and authentication method to OAuth2
    Outlook still prompts for password but doesn't impede mail.

    Windows 10 22H2 on Surface Pro 3 running Outlook 2013 - same boat for the last two weeks

    Was getting password prompting w/o 2FA or App password every few minutes. Would sign in 3 times, then cancel. Outlook would connect for a while, then prompt again. Rinse and repeat multiple times a day.

    Been watching this thread and checked the Reddit page today. Saw this link and gave it a try: https://azvise.com/2022/08/23/enable-modern-authentication-for-outlook-2013/

    Updated Regedit > Closed/re-opened Outlook

    I know it's not "the" fix for MS's issue, but might help as a work around for the moment.

    So far, in the last 3 hours, no prompts. Will update this again in another day.
