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

    Initial message 1/26/24. A significant number of folks use Outlook, which for many is not accessible. All we're asking for is an update to the original message as to status of problem and ETA for resolution.

    I didn't read read ALL 13 pages of comments, but I did not see it explicitly, so to be clear, SAME ISSUE with MS OUTLOOK 2016 for iOS.

    MINE IS BACK!!

    I'm using Mailbird and I changed the IMAP server back to these settings:

    IMAP server: outlook.office365.com

    Port 993

    Encryption: SSL/TLS

    Authentication: username and password

    Suddenly instantaneous sync!

    Here's hoping it sticks
