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

    Gmail Android connecting to outlook.com personal via Exchange account type with app password (modern auth is not supported for personal accounts in Gmail) is still intermittently getting the error, but it seems to come and go pretty quickly now instead of being down all day. I suspect they haven't caught all the offending servers yet.

    On page 22 of this thread I replied

    "Using Outlook's webmail this is not an issue for me."

    I am signed in using Outlook on the web and have no problem with missing deleted items. I don't use the native Outlook app for mobile devices, as I use a different client.

    Sorry, but I believe it is unrelated to this thread which pertains specifically to authentication with e-mail clients.

    Everywhere I look, whether on Outlook on the web, the Outlook app, or my email client, all folders are in sync including trash/deleted.

    Although the issue 'password prompts' is gone, I still get another error 'The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly terminated by the server' time to time.
