keep getting authentication failed in microsoft outlook with Comcast

Every 2-4 days, Microsoft Outlook for Mac on my Mac Air M1 pops up an error window saying it can't authenticate with Comcast to retrieve mail and I need to reenter the password. I do so and select save to my keychain. Rinse, repeat constantly; literally every 2-4 days. Is the password not being saved? Is it only temporary? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I removed the account from Keychain Access. Please Help !! [Edited by Moderator]
