Mail App on iphone says I have to put in password

[lakerchick4life]

HI everyone not sure if this is the right forum for this but since yesterday the mail app on my iphone keeps telling me I need to put in the password and I do and its not working, doesn't sync anything, I have hotmail and outlook for my email and its not working yet on my ipad it works fine along with my windows 11 PC so not sure how to fix this. I know that microsoft had issues yesterday but most have reported it being resolved
Thanks so much appreciate it

Same here, on iPhone. I believe there indeed was some sort of outage yesterday, but I'm fine now. I just kept trying -- sometimes I would get a too many requests error, sometimes I would sign in successfully only to have to sign in again, but I kept trying every 15-30 minutes.

The funny thing about it is MacBook was fine, and I could access outlook in the web browser. But no issues here with iPhone now.

Ditto outage yesterday. iPhone, Mac, iPad all were complaining about Outlook.com.

Fixed itself on Mac and iPad. iPhone was only one that needed extra: click on "Enter password", "Fix", whatever the button said. Just had to re-sign in.

Worse case scenario, remove the account and re-add as account should be using IMAP and will not lose any emails.

Same here. Reentered Outlook password once. All good.

Same, my work phone did this and I just had to reenter it again.

Outlook and OneDrive are really messed up. Happens frequently. Seems it constantly asks and must be pinging a server, which goes offline also during app updates.

Beyond just being pet peeves anymore

I just had to wait it out and everything (Mac, iPad, iPhone) stopped bugging me and the account reconnected.

My outlook.com email address is honestly the worst - this happens all the time, and it usually does ask to log in again. With 2FA on the account it's a total PITA.
