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

    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.

    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.

    I am using the IOS built-in mail app client when experiencing this issue connecting to my Outlook account (and my wife the same for hers). Is anyone experiencing this with say the Outlook mail app client on iphone?
