Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password

I was skeptical at the beginning since there is a lot of FUD around this app, and in this forum ad well, some "not" very smart users like to sh** on MS and its employees just for the fun of it.

I am certain I have more experience than you on this and so are many others in this forum. "New Outlook" on Windows Store gets terribly low scores, endless of internet posts from very smart people that pin point exact issues. Of course, a world full of naysayers with advanced degrees and real-world tech experiences are all wrong, and magically, you are the "smart" one. If you want to use "New Outlook", go ahead... but don't pretend it's a solution for this issue and the issues raised are not true. The reality is you are not "smart" enough to even understand the deep issues and their nuances being pointed out or understand their implications. When you work a day on the other side of the equation and look at the amount of user data and metadata can be gathered, you would not have this type of careless attitude. Just because you don't have the knowledge to understand the privacy concerns raised by others, it doesn't make it non-existent or invalid.

Nope no Edge bug, just personal mistake using my personal device instead of my work device. Just was trying to answer and engage as much as possible on the weekend here.

When connecting to Outlook.com it is always recommended that you let it autoconfigure and if you have to select anything you should be using Outlook.com and not Exchange. If you are using Outlook for iOS, there is no need to do any manual setup and it doesn't configure EAS under the covers it uses a different sync technology.

For the best and most simple setup majority of users should never have to do any kind of manual configuration to get their accounts in an email app. This includes Outlook, New Outlook, Outlook for iOS, Outlook for Android, as well as the defaults for apps like Thunderbird and Apple.
