Outlook 2013, which is up to date, keeps asking for my outlook.com password. I have already deleted Credentials as a fix was posted earlier. But it still didn’t not fix the constant request for password.

I created a new profile. Same problem. Could y create a new one because of constant request for password.

    I believe you are correct, as I have said in a prior post, we are being forced away from a proven product to one that is unproven and broken. I refuse to give in, I would rather move to another product than give in to corporate strong-arm tactics.

    Hello,

    This is becomming utter BS... The current status with Outlook 2013 and *@hotmail.com e-mail address is that I can not use it at all unless I delete the account and create it again in Outlook 2013. And as soon as I close it, I have to do it again. Using the application password does not help any more - not even for a brief moment. It is unreal that I can use Outlook 2013 with other e-mail accounts, but not with hotmail account.

    Seems like a subtle way of Microsoft to hardpush customers away from their servers to free up e-mail space or to get them to pay for another software that isn't equal nor better than the previous software. I am dissapointed in this behaviour.

    In other words, instead of fixing an issue that would allow me to use a program I paid for, the solution is to force a move by irritating me with constant prompts for a password.

    I eventually found the answer was to use an app password.

    I am connecting to Gmail and the instructions to follow are here ...

    I guess there are similar instructions for other connections.

    It is very straightforward, when you know how!
