Can’t access email on my ipad

I use Live.com for email. Always been to access on my iPad until now.

it is asking for an updated password on for Outlook.

it goes to “settings”, then “passwords & accounts”, then asks me to re-enter password.

When I click on “re-enter password”, it tries to open a page for 1-2 seconds then reverts back to the previous page over and over.

iPad Air, 12

Some email providers now require the use of App Specific Passwords when accessing mail over IMAP or POP3. If this applies to your email account, you will need to generate a unique password for your iPad email account - that will differ from your normal Account Password. As examples - AOL, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft all use App Specific Passwords when using anything other than their own email client Apps.


Microsoft accounts include live.com, outlook.com and hotmail.com domains.


If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page.
