    This morning when I opened MS Outlook it began popping up the window for me to enter a password.

    So, I went to to the Accounts feature and reentered passwords and it is still doing it.

    I know the passwords are correct, so what's up with that?

    Your email provider could be down... That or your account was hacked

    Who is the account with? (gmail, hotmail, spectrum etc)

    The issue is with my home desktop and we had no problems at work yesterday.

    So I think it's in the internet/email provider, as in, in my neighborhood. The utility crews have been here doing some underground work and it seems a number of us are having issues.

    Out of the blue prompts for email passwords generally indicates an issue with the provider....

    No glitches this morning so I'm going to write it off to the provider.

    Thanks for the feedback.
