My iPhone 12 keeps asking for email password for my hotmail.
I set up my hotmail account on the phone through the mail app and not had any issues. In the last few days, it has started asking me to re-enter the password every few hours-now up to 6-8 times a day. I've tried deleting and re-installing the account, but to no effect. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's becoming a real nuisance
