My iPhone 12 keeps asking for email password

Since iOS update, it is happening on our iPhone 8, iPhone 10 and iPad for hotmail accounts only. Gmail accounts are not impacted.

I’ve had and still having the same issue here and know others having it too. It’s def an iOS issue. Only happened after the iOS 14 update. Have to renter passwords numerous times daily.

Its an iOS with Hotmail/Outlook issue... both iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Pro along with my wife's iPhone 11 Max, none of my other accounts in Mail have an issue. My Outlook app doesn't have an issue.

I have a new IPhoneSE 2020 and an 2018 IPad and both are having this problems lately. I agree it must be the 14 update. Hopefully it is fixed soon it is driving me crazy! 🤬

This is definitely an IOS14 problem. It affects my iPhone SE, iPhone11 and iPad Pro. My Hotmail password needs to be re-entered on each device at least daily.

Hi Guys,

I have made a Video with Simple steps,

This is for most of us the best working solution:

Guys remove authenticators (both google and Microsoft) and restart your phones....hopefully the problem will be gone.....

This is not true... it IS absolutely an iOS issue. Happening to me also, using iP8, and only started after upgrading to iOS 14 (and have since updated twice more to the latest version of iOS 14, with still no resolution).

Oddly enough, it seems to affect one of my hotmail accounts more than the other (though I have had the issue with both of my Hotmail accounts, just at different frequency).

Never had this issue prior to iOS 14, nothing else has changed. And judging by the number of people complaining about it online (including on the MS forums, where again it's been confirmed it's an iOS issue, given it only happens in the default Mail app, and not other mail apps), I would hope that Apple is going to release a fix soon!

This only started with iOS 14 for me on my iPhone . The mail client (Hotmail account) asks me up to 4 or 5 times a day. Really annoying and was never an issue before. Updated to 14.2 hoping it might be fixed.

I am not noticing it on iPad OS 14.2.

I have a iPhone 11 pro on IOS 14.2 and this same keep asking for Hotmail password has been going on for a while now! It also does the same on my iPad which has up to date IOS on it , very annoying as It dosent keep asking me on my PC, so surely it must be an IOS problem? Glad to know im not going mad as there are lots of us with the same problem!

Ok I just googled “hotmail asks for password on android” and I get results from 2016, 2019 and 2011 and then half way down google starts to remove the word Android because it’s not finding anything so yes I still think it’s an iOS issue this time round

I’m having the same issue since the iOS 14 update on my iPhone 8. Periodically prompted to re-enter my password for my Hotmail account. Really annoying. Is anyone from Apple taking note and doing anything about this?

If this is occurring to so many people (myself included) it is an iOS issue regardless of SravanKrA's

uninformed opinion. SravanKrA, if you have an actual solution please provide it. Otherwise you are not helping to ease frustration for so many with this issue.

Thank goodness. I thought I was going nuts! I have an iPhone XS Max and two iPad pros. Was bout to buy a MacBook but Apple support over past 18 months, including pre-Covid, has been dire. All my devices have the same problem. And IT ONLY STARTED AFTER the IOS 14 upgrade. Apple need to get this sorted. It’s a disgrace.

Well done Apple you have messed up again. The last time you did this it messed my original Hotmail account up so much I never regained access. Now it is happening on my iPhone X with my other new personal account and my business live account. For the love of god, get your act together and fix IOS14. Next time test it properly before messing us about. I have had many iPhones, iPads and MacBooks over the years and think of going over to the dark side.
