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

    Hi,

    thanks again for keeping us all updated and that the investigation goes on. My and my wifes account still have the issue in gmail on Android, we use different devices.

    I have 2FA and App Password, my wife no 2FA.

    We would be happy to share our outlook.de addresses if you or the team need more examples for investigation.

    A little add from my side: Directly after leaving my WLAN Network I got a password prompt. After I got back to exact this WLAN network again (about 15 mins later, so same public IP address) I got my mails pushed again without touching the new password prompt, so it was working again.

    Perhaps this helps identifying the problem.

    Early in this post (sorry, don't remember which page), there is a post about a new release from 9Folders that supposedly works around the problem. It's a new update to the app. I use 9Folders also, but haven't had a problem in days, and when I did, it was hit or miss, so I lived with it, waiting for a fix from MS. Still don't know if it is fixed, but no issues on my end for a while.
