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

    Wiesshund,

    VBA support has not been added to New Outlook yet. Outlook for M365 has VBA support if you want get a trial to use it. We just published these instructions (with link to trial) for those that want to export an Outlook.com mailbox, Export your Outlook.com mailbox - Microsoft Support.

    What a curious time for this article to appear. Is all this an attempt by MS to intentionally dissuade its users from third-party platforms?

    AnotherBug,

    You might have gotten further later in this thread but if you are still seeing issues with Outlook for M365 we can help with that. In Outlook for M365 see if you have the option for Help, Contact Support and submit a ticket from in the app. If you don't have that option, I will follow up later to enable it for you in the service. Just to make sure, in Outlook for M365 you have the account configured as an Exchange account, is that correct?

    Lets check how that account is connecting to Outlook.com. It should be modern auth. Press the Ctrl key and then In the system tray right click on the Outlook icon and click Connection Status, Description of the Connection Status dialog box - Outlook | Microsoft Learn. What does it show in the AuthN column? Hopefully its MSA or Bearer.
