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

    I confirm, the problem persists, it is never possible that Microsoft will not solve the problem.

    Again, can we please stick with "This" issue which is still not resolved?

    Please do not hijack this thread, since it is critical that we keep it rolling, if we want to have a chance that it will be addressed and fixed.

    Users with other, unrelated question/issues should open their own threads.

    Thanks

    What this has to do with the issue in the original post?

    Are you even reading what he was saying? Ads are shown in the "FREE" version not if you are subscribed.

    Not to be rude or something, but If you have question related to "Your" issue, you should open a new thread.

    "New Outlook" has new terms and condition, and by using it, you agree to send and share all your emails and 3rd party account data with Microsoft. So think and read that before you opt to use it. "New Outlook" on Win11 is a PWA. For MS accounts, it probably doesn't matter, BUT if you access any non-MS accounts, it means MS cloud will be the middle man accessing your non-MS account data and refurnishing it to you on your screen. It's very very different than the Outlook desktop which is a local client. "New Outlook" is a cloud client.

    If Microsoft (MS) is going to eventually make New Outlook the only MS mail "client" offering, "replac[ing] the Windows Mail App and will be the same app that eventually replaces Outlook Desktop in M365", as Gabriel Bratton has stated on page 43 of this thread, and presumably the ultimate plan, the warning (above) to which I reply here from page 13 is very important when considering whether to use New Outlook or not. It's rather concerning for us in regards to privacy and security, especially for non-MS accounts and e-mails, being proxied and identifiably linked to a New Outlook user through some sort of MS cloud e-mail so-called "client" (server). If this is how New Outlook is going to function, it will not be a viable option for us either.
