Where can I find information about hotmail account not accepting logins from my Imac . I understnd that hotmail has changed its security requirements , and Apple mail does not meet these requirements .
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iMac 24″, macOS 14.6
I just figured out how to solve this problem. I have an iMac late 2009, iPhone SE2020. Keeps asking me for password in Mail.
Sign out of all web based outlook.
Mark inactive the current mailbox Hotmail
on your iPhone do the same
Add new maill box on iPhone FIRST, choosing outlook.com and normail email and password as before.
Then on iMac, add the mail account again to Mail, and THIS TIME it will be able to accept the normal password.
Reason for this issue, is that your iPhone is the master on all Apple programs not the iMac. The new account security features from Microsoft have a new layer of security, and only the phone shows that mail account "outlook.com" and on the desktop its only Exchange.
So do these in this order, no need to change password. No need to reboot even.
And you will no longder be asked for a password promt while using an iMac Mail account
Do the following after logging on to your account https://myprofile.microsoft.com/:
For assistance with the above contact Microsoft or post to their community https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us
Once done, change the Apple mail password on your Mac to the app-specific one.
Why is my Hotmail account not accepting logins on iMac?
