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 and I can no longer authenticate my outlook email address. I contacted Mailbird and they stated they have been getting constant calls of outlook authentication issues and that it is a Microsoft issue.

    Same issue in Outlook 2013 too.

    A few more impacted users here too:

    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.

    It also stopped working in Gmail app in Android. It was required to create an app password but suddenly stopped working from yesterday. Even creating a new app password doesn't resolve this. I'm out of my email and contacts and calendar in my phone in the meantime. :(
