Windows 10: Microsoft 365 Outlook keeps requesting password on Local Account

Hi all, hope someone will be able to assist.
Since upgrading to Win 10 Pro version 2004, Outlook keeps asking for my email POP passwords.

After inserting passwords Outlook works as long as it stays open.
Once closed or computer switched off and started up again, passwords are requested again.

This only happens when I am signed in on my Local Account but works perfectly when on signed in on my MS Account.
This started after updating to latest Version 2004 via WU but worked perfectly with previous version. I have searched everywhere but cannot find any solution. Thank you

:)

Microsoft 365 Outlook keeps requesting password on Local Account

I've been having similar problems but Outlook keeps prompting for my MSA Exchange Account number and it doesn't matter if I'm on a local or MSA sign in. I have to enter it twice and then I can work for a number of hours even turning off and on but then it comes back.

I'm still on 1903

This may help you but- it didn't for me.

Just as an additional data point I had problems adding GMail accounts to Outlook and found that I needed to turn on All Connected Experiences in Outlooks MS Account Privacy Settings.


So just joining your thread to see if anyone comes along with a solution.

 

Local Account password changed to Online Account Password

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the steps on how to switch from Microsoft account to Local account:

• Click on search in taskbar and type account.
• Click on Accounts.
• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
• Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
• Now, login to Local account.

Hope it helps.
