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

Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments

This is timely. I'm just in the process of transitioning from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird in the expectation that it would fix the login issues :-(
IMAP using OAuth2
honestly, does the Outlook Team know what they are doing?
time stamps are PDT
I added some sandboxing ability around Outlook for Android, in addition to disabling all of its permissions, so Outlook only manages and touches app-local data. I don't want to share too much because the MS folks on this thread will probably feed the information back to their developers that may lead to ways to circumvent these methods.
By the way, I saw another post saying Basic Auth will be disabled by 9/15/2024 for the personal accounts, so we are 3 months away. Either move all your data off Microsoft system, or starting getting alternative clients ready.
Can you give us a hint as to what you've used for your "containment field", please?
Sounds useful as a temporary method for accessing this data... :)
Yeah... I now get fewer onmicrosoft and microsoft originated spams.
EAS under GMail started to having issues for my work account as well. Email sync at random, calendar and contact also don't think correctly. I am very sure this is a targeted effort to force people to use Outlook apps.
I ended up installing Outlook on my Android device to access my work data, but setup a containment field around Microsoft apps. I seal off Microsoft's access to data outside of the app. Tell you what, Outlook mobile apps are horrendous. Email looks ugly, calendar looks ugly, task look ugly. Very little can be done "at a glance" The only single benefit I see is joining Microsoft Teams meeting is a bit easier with a single click. I didn't realize Google's UI design is so much more advanced in terms of usability until I am forced to use mobile Outlook.
