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

    Some clients are using older software that is no longer updating and can not rely on developers to create workarounds to fix a Microsoft bug. While it is great for those who are using newer software and have technical expertise, many people using older devices, software, and operating systems can not rely on this. There needs to be a wide industry standard that is followed. This issue does not affect any Gmail accounts, which indicates that it is not a client developer issue but a Microsoft issue that is not following standards.

    Yes. Everything seems to be fine now for people using the 9Folders product. Other apps are available. Hopefully the developers of those other apps will be as responsive as the 9Folders team have been.

    This is not a client developer issue/responsibility, it is a known Microsoft issue!

    Delete the account within 9Folders and re-add it.

    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.
