Unable to verify account name or password

I've tried some of the online solution to no avail, like pressing the tab button in the system preferences-internet accounts window. Nothing seems to work. I've had the e-mail account (.msn) for 20+ years and I haven't changed the password recently. Is there a way to reset the password?

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.


Enter the part after the @sign in the search bar.


You may have duplicate or more entries in Keychain Access.


If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but likely old passwords interfering.


There''ll be at least 2 entries, maybe more.
