Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password

Anonymous

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

Adding my support here, I've been down since January 26th. Microsoft support chat on my PAID account is USELESS and wasn't able to mention this ongoing active issue. Had to find it myself.

This is disturbing. If MS can't recognize this, who can? Of course was this typical "overseas support? "

This problem is so widespread that every platform and every MS employee would have experienced it already. Of course, there is possibility that MS employee themselves do not use Hotmail, they know better :)
