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

    Same here. Tried switching back from outlook.com to Microsoft Exchange. Didn't even recognize my Exchange account, even when manually entering server.

    Curiously, yesterday, my outlook 2016 worked normally all day. I truly believed that Microsoft had found the solution to this password popup problem. But no... this morning, it's back to the way it was on day one, January 23! In fact, I think the problem has even gotten worse. What happened yesterday to make my outlook software work normally and not today? Please Microsoft, continue to investigate.

    It's US Holiday today (Monday, 2/19), so probably not a lot of MS folks are working. I am still having the issue on all my devices throughout the day but it seems to come in bursts. Once it "settles down", it would go quiet/normal for some time before the next round of this. I wish MS would be more transparent about the cause or what they've identified so far.

    Had my EAS sync for calendar & contacts working most of Saturday. Wasn't working all day Sunday. Still not working today (Monday).

    And then, as if the EAS nightmare wasn't enough of a headache, this...

    How much of this BS must we endure? Gabriel, care/dare to advise?
