In general, this problem can arise from several factors listed below.

• Outlook settings: This problem may occur if there is a problem with your Outlook app settings.
• Windows Update or Update: Updating or updating Windows can convert your custom settings to certain programs that may cause this problem.
• Network transient connection: If your network is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose contact with the mail server. It will prompt you during a password reset test.

Therefore, if you have encountered this problem, first switch to a more stable network environment. If Outlook still requires a password, you can try the following methods for you:

Solution 1. Turn on Remember Password option

In some cases, the problem is due to a simple error. If you haven't checked the "Remember Password" option when signing in, this may be a problem. In such an event you will have to run the option. Here's how.

1. Launch Outlook, go to File and click Account Settings.
2. Select your account under the Email bookmark.
3. A window will pop up, scroll down, and you'll find the "Remember Password" option. Make sure it's checked.

Solution 2. Uncheck the "Always Toggle Login Accreditation" option

Your prospective application may prompt you to enter the password again and again because you have configured it as such. To eliminate such an opportunity, you should do the following:

1. Launch Outlook.
2. Switch to File, then select Account Settings.
3. In the Account Settings section, select Account Settings.
4. Highlight your account and click Change.
5. Click the More Settings button.
6. Please go to the Security tab.
7. Select the "Always prompt access credentials" option under a User ID.
8. Click OK, then close your Outlook.

Solution 3. Update Outlook

If none of the above solutions worked for you, there could be something wrong with your Outlook app. You'll also need to upgrade your Outlook program to the new version.

1. Open Outlook, go to File and select Outlook.
2. Select an Office account, then click Update Options
3. Finally, select "Update Now" from the list to search for new updates.

Solution 4. Disable antivirus

• An antivirus program can interfere with your Outlook if it uses an extension or firewall. If the above methods do not work for you, it would be best to disable your antivirus to see if the problem was caused by the program.
• If the issue has been removed after shutting down the antivirus program, please disable it permanently, delete it, or try another antivirus as per your needs.

Solution 5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode and disable plugins

• To fix the problem that Outlook keeps asking for a password, you can also try to start your Outlook in safe mode and disable the add-ons.
• The simplest way to start Outlook in safe mode is to hold down the Ctrl key while you press the Outlook shortcut.

Here are all 5 methods that can be corrected that Outlook keeps asking for a password. I hope these methods will help you solve this problem in Outlook.
