    I suggest that you change your password if you use any "Live" accounts.

    Why am I getting prompts on my cell phone to enter credentials for my hotmail account?

    Outlook 2013 repeatedly prompts for email account credentials

    I use Outlook 2013 for four different email accounts - two hotmail. com accounts, one outlook.com account, and one sbcglobal.net POP account provided by AT&T via Yahoo.

    Beginning a week or so ago, I've started getting password prompts throughout the day for the sbcglobal.net account. I select the checkbox to save the password, but I keep getting prompted for it. This happens maybe once an hour, sometimes more. It's really annoying.

    I know the password I'm supplying is correct because I do get email for the account, and I've verified the password using the ATT/Yahoo web interface.

    Any suggestions how to stop the repeated prompts?
