When you have activated 2-step verification/Authenticator for your Microsoft Exchange/Outlook, Yahoo, Google Mail, AOL account, it introduces an additional layer of security, preventing the use of your regular login password when accessing your account through a web browser. In such cases, you are required to generate a unique and device-specific application password for use on iOS devices.
To accomplish this, navigate to the provided link, which facilitates the creation of an iOS app-specific password. This distinct password ensures a secure and seamless connection between your iOS device and your Microsoft Exchange/Outlook account, Yahoo, Google Mail, and AOL allowing you to navigate the heightened security measures while maintaining the convenience of accessing your email and other services on your iOS device.

Putting my password in on the mail app and this is being verified. and when I open my
emails it is asking for the password again,
so I add again, and sometimes it updates my email with the latest mails, then it starts to drop out again.
so frustrating, and annoying
Same thing with me. Sometimes when I restart computer, it recognizes it again, or stops recognizing a different hotmail account. When Iogin to Hotmail using what I KNOW to be my email password, it's fine. But putting that same password in for the mac mail account doesn't work. And if I delete the account ALL of the emails sitting in that inbox will be wiped out. Come on Apple ... geez
hotmail keeps asking for password,
