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.

    Yes, I agree. It is very strange the issue is still not addressed when thousands of users are affected. I have also been thinking about contacting a tech magazine and ask them to get Microsoft into speech about what they are trying to achieve and why they took away the free storage that was included in emails with attachments, so now my wife pays a subscription for storage to keep all old emails, but she says Hotmail is still unusable because of this always ask for password issue that also came in the same "package" 😀 So, Microsoft takes the money for extra storage in hotmail / onedrive, that has always been free but do seem to want to make it difficult so that people should change to Office 365 subscription. The rumors say that Microsort first decided to shut down hotmail, but after heavy complains they did not. Today we see the results if the rumour is true. But a full version of Office is a lot cheaper in the long run, so subscription is not cost effective so, this seems to be a fight against David and Goliat 🤣 However the last Word is not said in this case, and the history could repeat itself that the smallest part wins. We still have more time and will give the case to a newspaper if the case is not solved sooner or later!

    This is our business email, so sadly we cant change it. It's so very annoying, and probably costing us customers!

    I have office 365 and use my hotmail account as my main Microsoft account. So, I am running the latest version of Outlook for Windows and still getting the constant password prompts.

    I actually think by the intermittent nature of this problem they have something like an overloaded server issue. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

    I've suffered the same problems for months with Outlook 2013 and just today found this resolution - No more prompts for password.

    - Remove cached credentials

    1. Close all Microsoft Office Programs
    2. Navigate to Control Panel
    3. In the search bar, type in “Credential Manager” and select it
    4. Select Windows Credentials
    5. Under Generic Credentials select the down arrow next to any instance of MicrosoftOffice15_Data:orgid:*your email address* and remove it If you are using Office 365, it may say Office 365 instead of Office15.
    6. Open Outlook and input your new credentials when prompted. Make sure you check the box to remember your credentials.
