It seems that since updating to iOS 17.1.1 my iPhone 12 Pro keeps asking for my outlook.com email password. I have deleted and recreated the account and rebooted my iPhone but the issue continues. I also deleted the account and re-recreated it as an exchange account (still using the outlook.com address). No help. Any help is appreciated. This is also happening on my iPad running ipados 17.1.1.

After reading the link about basic authentication I found a solution. I removed the account and setup 2 factor authentication for my email account (office 365). Then login using outlook account type NOT MS Exchange account and use MS authenticator app to setup the account on my iphone. Per the apple article basic authentication is being removed for security reasons and rightfully so. This will continue to get worse as apple does not intend to apply a fix for basic authentication but instead make it unsupported.
someone suggested downloading the Edge app to solve this password request. I’ve been using the Edge app for months it does not help. Any other ideas?
Finally, an answer that worked. Thank you.
Not having issues on my iPhone 12 with 17.2.1
My problem is with my Mac Studio (2023) running Sonoma 14.3. Can’t get mail to remember my Outlook password for more than a few minutes
thanks for your feedback, but that didn’t work for me. I’ll keep trying.
I did that, twice, and still it won't accept my password.
I did that too, but it still isn't working.
Thanks for trying, but I am not using IMAP as Outlook.com uses the Exchange protocol.
I have done it a few times already but it is still happening. Very irritating 😠
This is finally what worked!! Thank you!
I'm having the issue with my Windstream acct. A friend with Windstream is also having the issue. This is an Apple issue!

Thank you. Seems to have worked in my case.
Mine’s a little different - my live.com email HAS NO PASSWORD! Yep, I opted for passwordless. So how am I going to satisfy iOS? BTW, the constant pop-ups are preventing me from using the phone for much at all.
I had been getting reminders to enter my Outlook password on my iPad for many weeks now (but not on my Samsung phone) but mail was still coming through and going out so I just ignored it. Because I had recently been informed that my email and PW may have been compromised, I updated my Outlook password last night and set up 2-step verification. Sometime this morning I stopped getting mail updates on my iPad Outlook. No issues on my Samsung phone. IPad kept telling me I had to sign in to Outlook but when I clicked on the “sign-in” pop-up it took me to a blank page and I got no further. I tried many of the workarounds posted here, to no avail. I was just on outlook.live on my Samsung and under my account I thought I would turn off 2-step verification and voila! When iPad Outlook again asked me to sign-in it actually took me to a workable sign-in page and once I signed in my emails updated. I will try to replicate this again by turning 2-step back on, but that will have to wait for another day when I’m not so annoyed.
