Apple mail keeps asking for outlook email password

Hi,

I’ve got two outlook email accounts on my iphone and  both are constantly requiring me to re-enter my password. Its only started happening over the last 3 days and becoming increasingly annoying. I know other people that are having the same issues, so I’m not sure if its something to do with the latest IOS update. I would be grateful if anyone has any information on how to ressolve this. 

thank you

    Yes, same here. This issue started about 10 days ago. I don't think it's due to IOS 14.x (or not entirely due to IOS 14.x). It seemed to start when MS had an issue at their end: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/13165177/hotmail-problems-why-does-outlook-asking-password/ It was very bad for a day or so, then improved, but as of the 18th, it's back. I think there is something still going on. Don't believe this is device or account specific, so I suspect just need to wait until MS resolve it.

    Same problem here. Started approximately two weeks ago. I eventually removed my outlook account from the mail app on my iOS device then re-added it. This fixed it for about a week then about half an hour ago - bang there it goes again.

    Same!!! I was hoping it had been ressolved as there were no problems over the last 5 days or so. I only had one promt from each of my accounts yesterday, and nothing has popped up today so hopefully they’re working on it!
