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

    This issue has been escalated to the Outlook Team and its being investigated. I posted a Known Issue to acknowledge the issue, Outlook and other apps are unable to connect to Outlook.com - Microsoft Support.

    Thanks for escalating this. I have spent hours arguing with Microsoft support over the past few days and none of the support reps know anything about this. Is there a way to mark this with how many people they have frustrated with this? Are we sure they are even looking at that problem? They fixed the Teams Server issue within day, but that also hacked off all their large paying business customers. This one just hacks off the every day person and they may not care. It is ridiculous that they have not solved this yet.

    Only app on Android that will work is Microsoft Outlook and ToDo, and their office 365 suite.

    Likewise, for me among MSO 2021 Pro (PC), Thunderbird (PC), Fair Email (Android), K-9Mail (Android) and Outlook (Android) only the Outlook Android client processes mail without obvious error, however it does not allow review or change of settings. It might just be ignoring the errors. There there is the different type of encryption elsewhere but changing that did not work for me and it cannot be done in many clients.

    I know it's an "honest" mistake from Microsoft, but sure sounds like big brother

    To you point the outage was probably not intentional but it may be revealing a proprietary grab of have been caused by back-end changes that are part of such a future grab.

    Hard to believe it's taking so long to fix and no mention of it in the news.

    True that. Report at Down detector under Microsoft 365 > Outlook?

    The key here is Outlook desktop isn't working either. That may be the saving grace, since it's one of MS's own products that's fubar'd.
