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 understand, obviously the new Outlook is not an option that works for you or other like you that share your same concern.

    Good luck

    It's been 4 days and no issues until just minutes ago when the authentication error was received. Outlook.com account on 9Folders on EAS. Thought it was fixed, but alas, issue continue.

    Please ask the email client provider if they can support EAS with OAuth for Outlook.com. I found there is an EAS add-on for Thunderbird but it must use basic auth because users say it stopped working in late January, Provider for Exchange ActiveSync :: Reviews :: Add-ons for Thunderbird. If you or Rob have not tried this one it might be worth it and to give feedback so the developer will update for EAS with OAuth.

    I believe both Thunderbird and the Gmail app connect using the IMAP protocol and authenticate via XOAUTH2.
