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

    Agreed. Numerous work arounds in this thread. None lasted permanently. Only MS can fix this for all of us.

    That's not the solution, just the process of disconnecting and reconnecting to exchange will solve it for a while.

    Found the solution:

    Close the Outlook Desktop App. Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Mail -> User Mail Accounts. Select Accounts, mail *********@outlook.com (By default send mail from), select Change upside, Different options -> Microsoft Exchange window -> Additionally -> Unselect checkbox "Use precaching Exchange" and "Download shared folders". Hit "Apply", "Ok".

    Open the Outlook App.
