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

    Surprisingly, Samsung Email client with my free Hotmail account setup as an Exchange account is working. It syncs my email but not calendar, contacts.

    Adding my 'support', in so far as I am also affected. Running the "Nine" mail client on Samsung S21FE. Been running this client for so long, across three phones for many years. Friday last (26-Jan-2024) it just stopped collecting email and ant attempts to resolve just fail. Nine Support sent me a link to this discussion. So ... yeah ... me too :(

    They might be using MS proprietary stuff, such as Outlook for Android, in which the settings cannot be changed or even determined for testing purposes... but yes they should know by now. It may be no coincidence that this occurred just as Microsoft is rolling out changes to the Outlook landscape.
