Question

macbook mail wont remember email account passwords anymore

my macbook email program stopped remembering my email passwords 3 days ago. Since then it s hit or miss, sometimes it remembers sometimes not and asks for the passwords again.

Since then I ve done the following:

gone to the online live page and logged into hotmail
agreed to the change in terms
changed passwords
changed those new email passwords on my mac

Nothing seems to make a difference.

The problem does not exist on my iPad or iPhone.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.3

If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in Safe mode.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to do disk repair, clear caches and other housekeeping and disables third-party mods. When you're in safe boot, the machine won’t be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.

Does the problem persist while in Safe mode?
