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

    Gmail Android connecting to outlook.com personal via Exchange account type with app password (modern auth is not supported for personal accounts in Gmail) is still intermittently getting the error, but it seems to come and go pretty quickly now instead of being down all day. I suspect they haven't caught all the offending servers yet.

    The Microsoft Support status for this issue at

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-and-other-apps-are-unable-to-connect-to-outlook-com-f4202ebf-89c6-4a8a-bec3-3d60cf7deaef

    has been updated from "Investigating" to "Resolved". I hope it was not premature, but at this time we have not had further authentication/login prompt errors using Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, Thunderbird, and the Samsung Email apps since early this morning when changes were evidently made by the Outlook team.

    Does someone definitively know that the problem is fixed? With these trailing reports, is it still an active problem?
