Things to try if Outlook keeps asking for a password
Outlook is a platform that is being used by a lot of people at different organizational levels allowing users to enjoy a good flow of communication. Although Outlook is created in such a manner that it does not hamper users' work, sometimes it can bring about some hurdles in your way. Some users have reported that they are being prompted to enter their Outlook password again and again even after logging in successfully. So, if you are also facing this situation while using Outlook, the best thing you can do is uninstall and re-install Outlook via office.com/setup.
However, there are a few other things you can try before you jump to that solution. The other solutions include logging out of your account and then logging in after exiting the program completely and resetting the login settings.
Let's see what we can do to fix this issue.
