Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password

JaviHotmail - At this time we haven't fully announced the date that Basic Auth will be going away. We wanted to give an update to potentially allow users to have guidance on what they can do to quickly get themself back into a better state. The large majority of users that are leveraging pop/imap/eas are actually using clients that support OAuth. So they can make the configuration change and see less auth prompts.

Those that are on older version of Outlook, such as Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 (which have ended mainstream support) will be the ones that need to move towards a newer version that does support OAuth. Again we know this is often something users need to plan for so we wanted to get that guidance out in advance.

As we look to announce full deprecation timelines, we will ensure that it is timely enough that users just don't get blocked and there is ample opportunity to get upgraded.

Had my EAS sync for calendar & contacts working most of Saturday. Wasn't working all day Sunday. Still not working today (Monday).

And then, as if the EAS nightmare wasn't enough of a headache, this...

How much of this BS must we endure? Gabriel, care/dare to advise?

So obviously either another attempt at a fix, or an extended period of the server dropping. All account settings reset and required resetting this morning. 2 outlook.com accounts. 9Folders. Exchange Activesync. Hrumph. .

They don't need to roll changes per se, they just need to provide working patch.

Problem with whole thing is mix of old and new code and whole bunch of "cultural layers" which now is out of control. Outlook as program uses same tool of account management as it was in Win XP (may be not XP but 7 for sure) on top of modern or not so modern shell. Whole thing should connect to Windows account management and such. Corporate use different windows with different set of rules and privilege management. There is huge and fundamental difference between home windows log in and corporate server based log in. Not really my thing so explanation is bit vague here. Corporate did experienced fallout but was out of woods in 2-3 days. Personal e-mails are here and there. Web to my surprise on some logins suppressed MS advertisement (no complaints here) and on other did not. Same goes for some links in the e-mail body. My point here. Issue is more complex than it seems. I won't be surprised if it affected e-mails on certain servers (physically served by them) more than others. As much as it fun to guess there is no help in guessing. I wish MS would of cleaned the house like Apple did and provided actually new system. Changes to Office been more cosmetic in all 2013/16/19 and last 21. So i assume MS don't need to do that much to fix them all rather fix one and it will work on the rest.

I continued to use standalone Office because 365 was at mercy of developers thinking arbitrary changes in interface count as improvement in software. I had access to 365 for about 6 years and never was better experience.

Absolutely it's not true. Nearly 50 pages of comments -- new ones daily -- imploring Microsoft to do the right thing and end this hell by rolling back the changes made nearly a month ago.
