I think I'm going crazy! My Outlook keeps popping up asking me to add my IMAP password (which I have no idea what it is), and my emails are not updating. I haven't changed anything to my knowledge and this is happening on both my phone and laptop. I keep being sent to Microsoft 365 to update the password which I have done and then realised I have another Outlook in Microsoft from years ago which I do not use. I need to find the IMAP password for the Outlook I do want to use as it's my business email but Outlook don't seem to have any contact details. Does anyone have any experience with this before I go mad? Really appreciate if anyone has any ideas at all? Many thanks

@RebeccaS50, first, check your email provider's requirements. Some providers, like Google and Microsoft, necessitate the use of app passwords instead of regular ones for email clients like Outlook. Visit your provider's website for instructions on obtaining an app password.
You can also try disabling and re-enabling your email account within Outlook by right-clicking your account, going to Account Settings, and choosing Disable, then Enable after a few seconds. Additionally, under the Security tab, you can uncheck "Always prompt for login credentials" in File > Account Settings > Account Settings > More Settings > Security.
Additional advice - test your email account through the web interface to isolate the issue to Outlook and if problems persist, use the Microsoft Support and Recovery Tool to diagnose and resolve Outlook issues.
This issue seem to also affect me on the new outlook client. It has happened after adding in a DNS verification entry to my own domain (which is also the primary account for outlook, but managed external to Microsoft).
I checked all of the setup on the email accounts I have, and it was all as expected and specified by the Hosting Domain, every time I restarted New Outlook, It would prompt for the Primary account password, and go through the account setup for it. For the time being I have reverted to the previous outlook client.
@n0hairs It seems that this discussion has lost track of a solution for the constant prompting in Outlook to add email credentials that previously worked fine. I am having the same issue with my Imap account. I also have a POP account with a different email address and this is working fine.
Microsoft Office Outlook 2019. It is up-to-date and I still receive/send mail. I just keep getting darn pop-up asking me to enter my username and password. Which I have done. I have changed settings to the account and repaired the account to no avail.
I'm seeing exactly the same symptoms - for about a week now, upon opening Outlook, and randomly thereafter, I am being prompted for my email account password. Outlook client on Microsoft 365. Same email client configuration has been in place for years without issue, across multiple laptops and PCs. Interestingly I do not see the same issue in the Outlook app on my Google Pixel phone. I had suspected it to be a server-based issue, which this thread seems to confirm. So waiting for Microsoft to fix it.
Email clients: Like a key, email clients (software like Microsoft Outlook) let you access your emails on your computer. These are thicker and offer more features.
Web browsers: Like checking your box online, you can also access your emails through a web browser - thinner and easily accessible anywhere.
No matter which tool you use, you need a password to unlock your mailbox. This password sits on the post office server (not your device).
Here's the key thing about IMAP: it's like a special mailbox key that works wherever you are. You can configure your email client (Outlook) with IMAP, and then access your emails from any computer or phone using the same settings.
