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

Is it still working for you?

2024-07-11T15:06:38+00:00 I'm confused.
Why would you want to use an Outlook account as a POP3?
Office 2021 (Outlook 2021) supports modern authentication when configured as "Outlook.com/Exchange"
So why would you want to use POP3?

2024-07-08T19:53:49+00:00 I have posted about similar experience a while ago. I added my Hotmail account to my work Office 365's desktop Outlook (not pop3). I was having the same auth issue. While some of the MS people on these forums try to be helpful, I generally don't believe 100% what they are saying My experience has proven they are not right in many cases especially now that Microsoft is making a lot of changes to all of their products.
