My Outlook.com account password doesn't work in mail.app

I am able to sign in to my outlook.com email address just fine on the website, however, I get a password error in the mail.app.

This error began when I installed the SurfEasy VPN client, but has persisted since the app was uninstalled. Any suggestions?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Microsoft exchange repetitively keeps asking for my password I am using Godaddy as my account provider for my Microsoft 365 account. For the last week, I keep getting a popup in the upper right hand corner of my screen asking me to "Enter your password for "XXXXX" account in internet accounts. The link sends me to the generic internet accounts where there is no password prompt. I can't hit the X to close the pop-up because it keeping coming b ack up. When I go to Microsoft's 365 account and put in my password, the program keeps flashing with the prompt saying trying to log you into account. I can access the web mail version of Office 365 but my apple mail is hung up. Thanks for trying to help me.

Problem was finally resolved by deleting the account and readding it to mail.
