Are you using and outlook.com/hotmail.com eMail? If so,...


Use a New App Password for Hotmail:

I remember chatting with Microsoft not too long ago, and going through this to set up other accounts to be accessed on MailOutlook, and on other Apps. A new App Password fixed this.


While in Hotmail, Go To:

  1. User Name(Top-Right)
  2. View account (Second Option Down)
  3. Security (third tap in from top-left)
  4. More security options (Far-Right)
  5. App passwords (Third Pane Down)
  6. Create a new app password
  7. Click Done
  8. Use the app password provided for a synchronized app


You might need to chat with Microsoft about this. So, Go Here: Contact Us - Virtual Agent - Microsoft Support

Tried to delete email account and it won't let me as it is my Apple ID. Tried to do as TheLIttles suggested however, I can perform items up to number 3. #4 More Security options (far left) not there, but third box over is Advanced Security Options and when I click on it , it just asks me to verify whom I am by the security I've given them. I don't get anything that ask for App Passwords. I will try to contact Microsoft Support. Thank you all for your input.

Thank you to all for your suggestions. I did try them all. When I tried to delete my email it originally wouldn't let me. I gave my phone to my daughter who was successful in deleting the email account and re-installing it and now the original account shows but doesn't update and a secondary account with the same email addy shows. We had to 'name' the new account. So all in all deleting and reinstalling the email account was successful. Thank you all again for your input.

Have you found a solution? :/ I have iPhone 6plus and it’s doing the same thing asking for password but then doesn’t let me enter anything the pop up disappears , I don’t want to delete it because I’m afraid of what will happen, I think due to our memory being full or almost full maybe that’s the issue but I’ve literally uninstalled a lot of apps I only have the ones that iPhone installed so I don’t know y the phone storage doesn’t budge. I’ve deleted a lot of stuff but still it’s almost full :/ I just think it’s Apple trying to make us upgrade our phones well am moving to Samsung because of this exact reason, Samsung has so much storage and even lets you insert a memory card on their phones

Move to Samsung, Apple just wants us to upgrade our phones :/ it’s ridiculous that’s why they doing this they making old iPhones have issues so that we upgrade we’ll guess wat am upgrading to a whole new mobile brand! I thought after buying the iPhone 6plus I wouldn’t have to keep buying a phone every few months but no they just keep slowing the old softwares down n making us buy expensive phones not everyone can afford £1000 phones :/
