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?

This has been well over a year since this problem with New Outlook was identified.
All potential solutions involving changing Apple passwords, iCloud, etc. are a distraction. The problem is with New Outlook.
My temporary solution is to revert back to (Old) Outlook and wait for Microsoft to fix this bug.
I don't know exactly what you've done to fix your problem. If it works for you, great.
I use the New Outlook application on my PC (Windows 11) and the Apple app-specific passwords keep resetting for unknow reasons.
The inconvenient result is the un-synching of my iCloud Mail from my Outlook app. Then I have to go back to my Apple Account and re-generate a new app-specific password for Outlook.
How many times am I going to have to do this?
Same for me. Are you going to finally fix this problem? Very annoying.
Apple does NOT have special security settings to automatically change app-specific passwords based on time criteria.
I figured it out.
In Apple Mail I mistakenly used the 'Other Mail Account...' option when I installed the email there a few years back.
It started having troubles in the last couple of months and now won't work since MS shut down using the app passwords for it yesterday without a note at that page about it.
I SHOULD HAVE installed the email as a 'Microsoft Exchange' email account. Which I just did. It works great.
