Why does New Outlook repeatedly ask for an app-specific password?

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.
