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

    Same here, peace yesterday. and I had to reinstall outlook and redo all my accounts.

    This morning, I had to enter my app password twice in office outlook 2013 to get in.

    Did not get any prompt for the account without 2 step authentication....

    Same issue here for the past couple of days...Outlook 2016 on Windows 10 accessing a Hotmail.com account and also a personal account on FastHosts IMAP.

    Posted solutions on here or on M$ don't work (for me, at least). Quite apart from the fact I don't want to use 2FA
