Issue

After Office 365 password change Microsoft Outlook 2016 (Office 365 version) keeps popping up password prompt every few minutes even though correct password is entered. Deleting and re-creating Outlook profile and clearing all MS Office related password from Windows Credential Manager didn't help.

Resolution

Microsoft support confirmed that this is a known bug which will be resolved in a future Outlook update. A workaround fix was following:

  • Close all MS Office applications
  • Open MS Word and navigate to File > Account. Sign out to dissociate Office 365 account from MS Office installation.
    Word 2016 Account Page
  • Reboot computer.
  • Open Microsoft Outlook and sign in with new Office 365 password.
