Outlook asks for password again

Note:

These instructions are only for those who have set up the email-app password.

Procedure for resetting your password in Outlook

If the Windows Security window for signing in to a mailbox in Outlook opens again, click Cancel.

Click the Inbox for the relevant mailbox. Next, click Require password in the lower-right corner of Outlook.

After that, the system will attempt to log in automatically, and the Connected to Microsoft Exchange status will be displayed.

If the Outlook Windows Security window appears again after you click Password Required, log in to the IAM-Portal.

Under Self-service, click Email App Password. In the new window, click Start.

Note:

If you right-clicked on the password field in the Outlook login window, you'll need to close the login window and click Require password again.

Right-clicking causes the password to be pasted twice when you enter it, which causes the login to fail; if you try too many times, the email app account will be locked.

Now click the copy icon to the right of the app password. The password will be copied to the clipboard.

Left-click on Password in the Outlook login window. Then paste the password using the CTRL+V shortcut.

Check the box next to Save login information and then click OK.
