Q: iPhone keeps asking for hotmail password (iOS 10)
Hello,
I've been having this issue since upgrading to iOS 10 from iOS 9. I have 3 hotmail accounts on the iphone, once I enter the password it will work correctly for a while (usually one day) and then ask for the passwords again with a message stating an error occured and iOS needs the hotmail permission again.
I noticed this often occurs when I wake up in the morning and I haven't used iPhone for a few hours. This issue never occured on iOS 9. I recently upgraded from iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 and the issue still occurs.
Is this an iOS 10 bug? I've also tried deleting all my accounts and adding them again with no luck. My accounts do not use a two-step verification.
I'm currently using iOS 10.0.2 on iPhone 7
iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

Try deleting your Hotmail account from your iPhone and reinstalling it selecting Exchange rather than Outlook.com as your account type. This fixed it for me on both a live.co.uk and an outlook.com account.
