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 did report it and feedback refers to several URLs including this one... as known issue.

    Oh I didn't know that, I got now my favorites accounts inboxes in the order I wanted, thanks

    One last thing, I don't get any notification sound when I receive a new email. In my Settings -> Notification & Actions I have "Outlook New" Banners and Sounds turned On, Focus Assist is off, I get only the new email notification banner, the banner also stays correctly in the Action Center pane until dismissed, but there is no sound when I get a new email, what can be the cause that?

    UPDATE: Nevermind, I found the option in the General Settings -> Notify me About. I didn't notice that the Email tab can be expanded using the down arrow. The Play Sound option is off by default, after turning that on, is now playing the sound once a new email is received.

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    The Outlook Team has updated the guidance about this issue, Outlook and other apps are unable to connect to Outlook.com when using Basic authentication - Microsoft Support.

    A key take away is that everyone needs to work towards being on apps that support OAuth for Outlook.com. If you are using Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 an immediately available free option is to install the New Outlook, Outlook for Windows - Microsoft Apps. We will continue to update the guidance with learnings and status updates as we go.

    So office 2016 will not be updates to use OAuth?

    Then can you tell me where the VB editor is in outlook for windows as i would need to import those for that app to be of use.

    $600 for Office 2021, just for Outlook is beyond my budget, I'd have to buy that myself not to mention office 2021 and 365 users have this issue as well
    so seems it would be a poor way to spend the money.

    So if you could just tell me how to import VBA into your new outlook app?
