Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password

Anonymous

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 didn't read read ALL 13 pages of comments, but I did not see it explicitly, so to be clear, SAME ISSUE with MS OUTLOOK 2016 for iOS.

MINE IS BACK!!

I'm using Mailbird and I changed the IMAP server back to these settings:

IMAP server: outlook.office365.com

Port 993

Encryption: SSL/TLS

Authentication: username and password

Suddenly instantaneous sync!

Here's hoping it sticks
