Windows 10: Outlook 2013 Keeps asking for password to log in to AOL

Microsoft Outlook 2013 keeps asking for the password to log in to AOL mail. I connect to AOL.COM using an IMAP connection. Now it keeps asking for the password. It has done this repeatedly in the last 2 weeks. I have tried every suggestion I can find on the internet to cure the problem. The only way I can fix it (temporarily) is to delete the AOL account and rebuild it. This, of course, also deletes all the locally stored mail as well as my address book.

I have rebuilt the profile 3 or 4 times over the last 2 weeks and after I shut down the machine and re-start it, I again lose the ability to log in to AOL....it again continually asks for the password.

The Credentials Manager in the control panel does not mention Outlook anywhere.

I would appreciate any new suggestions on how to make it accept my password and log in. Or perhaps to get AOL to connect with a POP3 connection.

Outlook Keeps Asking for Password

Andre, I can get as far as Account Settings, but not to Where you are. Here's what I see in Account Settings:

 

Outlook XP (2002) keeps asking for password


Hello,

we are slowly migrating to Windows 10 at work and there is an issue with Outlook 2002. First, the setup:
- 1 Microsoft Exchange account for everyone. No issue here.
- 1 GMail account with Pop3 setup. Keeps asking for password each time we start Outlook, but then doesn't ask again.

There was a fix on Windows 7, it was about the protected storage and it worked, but does not in Win10. You can find results in google:
outlook keep asking for password windows 7 protected storage - Google Search


I didn't want to mess my registry before asking here. Any idea of what is the best solution?
