Hotmail keeps asking for my password. My password was correct. I still changed it. It keeps asking for my password nevertheless. Not only is it very annoying but it also keeps me from using my iPhone properly because that pop-up blocks me all the time I have read some of the answers you have given to people with the same problem. You only answer by asking questions. Every time they answer your question you ask another question. So no answer to be found anywhere. Just more and more questions. If you have to ask me questions, please ask them all at once. I really don’t have time for ping-pong. Thank you.

Outlook 2021. There is nothing on this Earth you can say to persuade me to starting paying MS a subscription.
Are you running a later version of Outlook that supports modern authentication? If not, nothing is going to work including Exchange.
I have no problem with the idea of setting up my Hotmail account as an Exchange account instead of IMAP in Outlook. It's not exactly hard work to click through the wizard. The problem is that it doesn't work.
Thanks 45KHz for the informative reply.
I'm surprised to see so many people are experiencing the same annoying problem. It seems to me it's issue(s) with Microsoft software, rather than anybody trying to hack my account everyday which is protected by passwords consisting of 20 digit random alphanumeric and special characters. It's getting worse to the point I'm prompted to change password every day. If Microsoft cannot solve this inconvenience, probably I'll be forced to ditch my 30 year old hotmail account. BTW of course I needed to change my password to post this reply.
