However, it can be frustrating when Outlook keeps prompting for password, despite providing it several times. This Microsoft Outlook password prompt issue may occur due to various reasons.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-outlook-keeps-asking-for-password?\"><strong>Why Outlook Keeps Asking for Password?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2><p>Some common causes behind the &lsquo;Outlook keeps asking for password&rsquo; problem are:&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Incorrect Outlook settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corrupt Outlook profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect cached password<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bad Internet connection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conflicting antivirus software<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shared calendar<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-fix-microsoft-outlook-password-prompt-issue?\"><strong>How to Fix Microsoft Outlook Password Prompt Issue?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2><p>You can try the following easy fixes to resolve the issue of password prompts in Outlook 2019, 2016, or any other version (including <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/outlook\/troubleshoot\/authentication\/continually-prompts-password-office-365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Office 365<\/a>).<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Switch to Stable Network Connection<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4><p>If your network connection is poor or unstable, Outlook may lose mail server connectivity. When trying to reconnect with the mail server, it may ask for your Outlook credentials. So, you can switch to a stable internet connection to resolve the problem of Outlook 2010 needs password.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Disable the Antivirus<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4><p>Sometimes, antivirus programs interfere with Outlook and may cause MS Outlook keeps asking for password problem. So, disable the antivirus program on your system and see if this resolves the issue.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Unselect Shared Calendars<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4><p>Shared calendars can also interfere with Outlook credentials. If you are using a shared calendar, unselect it and see if it fixes the Outlook password problem.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Disable Prompt for Logon Credentials<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4><p>Often, Outlook keeps asking for password because you have configured it to perform the task. To verify and disable the prompt for logon credentials in Outlook, follow these steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch Outlook and go to&nbsp;<strong>File &gt; Account Settings &gt; Account Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select your account and enter the password, if prompted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the&nbsp;<strong>Change<\/strong>&nbsp;button and then click&nbsp;<strong>More Settings<\/strong>&nbsp;button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the&nbsp;<strong>Security<\/strong>&nbsp;tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If&nbsp;<strong>Always prompt for logon credentials checkbox<\/strong>&nbsp;is selected, deselect it and click&nbsp;<strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"apply-gradient-on-post-images\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Always-prompt-for-logon-credentials-checkbox.png\" alt=\"Always prompt for logon credentials checkbox\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Always prompt for logon credentials<\/em><\/strong><em>&nbsp;checkbox<\/em><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click&nbsp;<strong>Close<\/strong>&nbsp;and restart Outlook. The problem of Outlook asking for password will be resolved now.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Clear Your Cached Passwords<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4><p>MS Windows stores user credentials locally for a wide range of applications, including MS Outlook. If these cached credentials are incorrect, you may face the Outlook asking for password issue. To fix the issue, you can remove the Outlook credentials from the Credential Manager. Follow these steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Close the&nbsp;<strong>Outlook&nbsp;<\/strong>application, if open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to&nbsp;<strong>Start &gt; Control Panel &gt; User Accounts &gt;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><u>Credential Manager<\/u><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify the credentials that have Outlook in their name. Click on those credentials and then click&nbsp;<strong>Remove from Value<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>Remove<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restart Outlook and see if the issue is resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Create New Outlook Profile<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4><p>Sometimes, Outlook password prompt issue occurs when your Outlook profile becomes corrupt.
