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

    Tried to re-add my outlook.com Exchange account today via my BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox account - same problem as before. Can't authenticate to the Exchange servers. Seems the issue remains. I was able to add it as just a straight up IMAP/SMTP setup but that does not help me with Calendar and Contacts sync.

    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

    Posted Microsoft solution not working with App passwords. Using Outlook 2013 with outlook.com account and EAS server settings. Authentication window keeps requesting password.
