Outlook 365 kept asking for my password. I know the problem is not the
stored password but the service not establishing a mail session. When I
used the webmail client, it reported:
X-ClientId: A463D3BA3EB14E258407DFCA6EC479F0

I then went to
https://portal.office.com/servicestatus which said:
Title: Unable to connect to Outlook.com
User Impact: Users may be unable to connect to the Outlook.com service.
Current status: Our investigation confirmed that a configuration issue

So, yep, Hotmail/Outlook.com is down, dead, nixed, kaput. Just a heads
up in case someone comes here asking about login problems at this time.
Use the servicestatus page to check when it's back up.
