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

    Sent the feedback. I would hope to encourage others to do the same as this is getting ridiculous. Its been almost a week of only intermittently being able to check my email on Thunderbird and Android, unacceptable from Microsoft. In the meantime, I will certainly consider moving away from outlook.

    Gabriel Bratton did a runner, along with any notion that Microsoft know how to operate an email service.

    Gabriel,

    We're all in need of some updates on this issue.

    While it seems obvious the issue is not yet resolved, some update as to intent, policy, investigation progress (or the like) would go A LONG WAY toward calming the concerns of those of us being severely impacted by it.
