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

    Yeah, I'm temporarily using Outlook LITE on my phone S21FE and hope this gets fixed soon and I can go back to Nine. I don't like the Outlook LITE at all. Guess I'm just not used to it, but I can't wait for Nine to work again. I check several times a day. Soon as it does I'll post here.

    ok just got a response back to 9 folder It's the Microsoft Outlook service's problem. We should wait until Microsoft solves this trouble. If there is any update from Microsoft, we will let you know right away.
    Thanks for your understanding.

    Thanks,

    Response from Nine Folders:

    Dear Customer

    Since we don't know when Microsoft will respond, we have released a version with changes to our Nine app to avoid the problem. If you want to solve the problem right away, please read and follow the instructions in the link below. We released v4.9.5f.

    This issue started on 1/23/2024. It was intermittent but gradually got worse and worse. I started a business trip on 1/24/2024 and basically it hasn't worked since then. I have Gmail on Android setup for eas.outlook.com and emails/contact/calendar are not getting sync'ed/downloaded. I am constantly getting "credential needed" error. Downloaded Outlook for Android, same issue.

    However, I did notice it occasionally connects on its own because some of my newer emails show up in the Inbox, but 90+% of times, it won't connect. This is so frustrating because I use this account for travel related email updates.

    This is getting ridiculous to have this issue for almost a week without any update or fix or even an announcement from Microsoft.
