A widespread problem is when Outlook keeps asking for the user credentials, even if the correct password is specified. After starting Outlook successfully connects to the on-premises Exchange server (or Microsoft 366/Office 365 mailbox), the user sees a list of folders in the mailbox and new emails in the Inbox folder. But after a few minutes, a window appears for entering the username and password. The user enters the password and presses OK, but the window with the prompt to enter the credentials appears again and again. By clicking the “Cancel” button, the user can continue to work with Outlook, and after a while, the password request window pops up again (sometimes the user account may be locked). The problem occurs in different versions of Outlook (2019/2016/365) and Windows (there was a problem in both Windows 7/8.1 and Windows 10/11).
