    For a new phone, the fastest checks are:

    1. Install the latest Outlook mobile app. Recurring password prompts or sign-in failures can happen if the app is outdated.
    2. If this is a Microsoft personal account, use the sign-in helper tool to identify the account issue and follow the recovery steps it provides: Start
    3. If this is a work or school Microsoft 365 account, use self-service password reset if it is enabled: Reset password
    4. On Android, if another Microsoft app such as Authenticator or Company Portal is installed, check device power settings:
      • Turn off power-saving mode.
      • Allow Authenticator or Company Portal to auto-launch and secondary launch.
      • Disable power optimization for Authenticator or Company Portal.
      • Open Authenticator or Company Portal before opening Outlook.
    5. If sign-in still fails, verify the account can sign in through Outlook on the web or webmail. If web sign-in also fails, the account issue must be resolved first.
    6. If the account is a work or school account and Outlook still cannot sign in on the new phone, contact the Microsoft 365 admin or technical support.

    If the error shown is NoSuchAccountException: Login Error on iOS, check these specifically:

    • Verify the username and password.
    • Try the domain UPN address instead of the email address.
    • Verify sign-in to OWA/webmail.
