Still, it is not fully free from technical glitches and faults. Often, when people attempt to connect to Office 365, their Outlook keeps asking for password. The issue primarily results from a problem in the Logon network security settings of the application. If you haven&#8217;t been using an updated version of Outlook, then too, you can face the password prompt problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outlook 2016 and a few builds of Outlook 2013 have the Logon network security settings disabled, which prevents users from encountering their problem. Regardless of the cause, here are some good measures you can take to fix the issue and start working with the application again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Resolve Outlook Keeps Asking for Password Issue<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can employ many fixes in Windows 10 and Windows 11 when you find Outlook continually prompts for passwords and doesn&#8217;t connect.
