I have this problem - Outlook 2016 doesn't accept password or app password - and i think it is a growing World wide Microsoft problem :-(

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

I understand, obviously the new Outlook is not an option that works for you or other like you that share your same concern.
Good luck

I'm still waiting for an official source about your statement, or you just made that up?
"You are wrong. I checked with my contacts at Gmail. They will keep POP3 through app-password even with transition to newer auth method. Google is still allowing those of us that want to use local/offline email clients. In fact, Google has been doing security upgrade gradually, and they managed not to disrupt us like this case has. If I follow their published steps on account setup - things just work."
So suddenly, happening minutes apart, where authentication errors are popping up one after the other. The account will then take the sign-on credentials, only to fail minutes later.
