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

    I am using Mailbird on PC and Fair Email on Android. These clients are now working perfectly for me using standard settings.

    Diego: it's working for you? or are you a Microsoft employee saying it's fixed. Mine too worked for hours yesterday and then intermittently did not. I'm just trying to understand if this is an official "resolution" or a user resolution. Thanks

    It's resolved now! eas.outlook.com works with an app password from Gmail app!

    Yeah, not resolved, I mean, for two days, the service worked alright. Now the problem is alive and kicking.

    Unfortunately i've still got the issue. Enabled 2 step authentication but when trying to add my account back to office 2016 professional i'm still unable to log in, with both app password or my regular password. Windows credentials pops up and keeps asking to reenter but no success nop matter how many times until i cancel at which point it fails.

    I've managed to add the account back on outlook, credentials requested the password 5 times before finally syncing. I log in daily so will update if there's any further issues.
