Trying to get imap password inquiry resolved on my iphone.

Hi @ScottSue Driver,

The "Password Incorrect" error for your Hotmail IMAP on iPhone is due to Microsoft's modern authentication (OAuth) requirements—basic passwords no longer work for IMAP. Don't type your regular password; instead, delete and re-add the account using the Outlook.com option for automatic secure sign-in:

1. Settings > Mail > Accounts > Select Hotmail > Delete Account.
2. Add Account > Outlook.com, enter your email and password (use a 2FA code if prompted).
3. Save and test in the Mail app.

If issues persist, try the free Outlook app from the App Store. For additional guidance, check these resources:

• Set up email in Mail on iPhone– Covers setting up Outlook.com accounts on iOS.
• Troubleshoot email setup on iPhone or iPad – Apple’s guide to fixing email issues, including IMAP authentication.

I hope this helps you fix the problem quickly! If you agree with our suggestion, feel free to interact with the system accordingly!
