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

    Thanks Pierre. I can repro the problem of not being able to connect with Outlook 2016 MSI using Modern Auth. I was able to connect with an App Password but I don't have the MicrosoftAccount******@outlook.com. I will follow up further and let you know what I find out.

    Hi Gabe

    Thanks for the try ...

    ... Same Office 2016 version as you

    ... Did the Regedit fix .... same problem! Asking for password :-( ... and now I don´t get any mails. I did yesterday - but could not send mails.

    Now its "all dead". The Windows 11 mail APP is working .... so it is NOT a password thing.

    I still think this is a World Wide Microsoft problem that started 2 days ago ... :-/

    Regards

    Thanks for your help .... but why (within the last 2 days) is this suddenly not working?

    I have had Office 2016 for the last 4-5 years hooked up to my ******@HOTMAIL.COM !??!?

    Does not make sense ....

    And I'm not alone with the problem.

    Regards
