I’m using New Outlook. The first time I used it, it required me to create an app-specific password to access emails in my iCloud account. After I was able to access my emails, I turned off my computer. When I went back next time to access my emails, it told me again that I needed to create an app-specific password, which I did. After using it that way for a while, now it’s asking me a third time to create an app-specific password. Why is it not retaining the app-specific password?
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

Yes I was using Outlook 2013. So many problems with Outlook and Microsoft I replaced my email app with eM Client which is superb. No problems and much better than the Outlook app.
I think I may find out the reason why my Outlook continously asking APP password. This is due to my Outlook version is too old. I have Outook 2013 version, Microsoft stopped support this version since April 2023. Now I have upgraded to Office 365.
So far, I don't see this problem again.
Not sure if you are using Outlook 2013 version as well?

I am having a similar issue pulling emails from my hotmail account over to my gmail inbox. A few months ago the POP3 connection stopped working and getting a new app password fixed it. In the past month it has progressed from failing every few days, to now failing every few hours.
Alarmed to see that Microsoft support appear to be completely ignoring this issue.
Still the same issue. New Outlook always asks for app-specific password and act like a fresh installed copy after closing the app. If I Open another window while having the one opened, it works. After closing all of them, it acts again like a fresh copy. Anyway, it keeps the other (MS Exchange) email account with no problems. Forcing to change from Mail & Calendar app to the "New" Office is a travesty.
