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

    Thanks Gabriel - the update is appreciated. Like others, I often have to tap "Cancel" numerous times when my iPhone keeps rejecting the Exchange sign-on, but it eventually connects. I don't seem to have the problem on my iPad since I switched to outlook.com.

    Have you tried removing and re-adding your account/s? It worked for me.

    LOL why would I start a new account? I couldn't care less if you find my posts helpful or not. The problem has been totally solved for me as far as I can tell.
