Exchange password required

I saw there were previous OLD threads about the persistent nag from macOS that their "Exchange password required." I STILL battle this glitch and was wondering if there has been any progress as to how to remove it? It drives me insane.

How to diable Exchange Password Required notification I use Office 365 Exchange account with MacBooks apple mail client. Every time I open my laptop opens pop up notification "Exchange Password Required", which I have to manually close. Mail works ok, so the popup is useless, false. Maybe it pops up too fast, before the connection is established. This isn't a "Mail" notification--there's no app associated with this, so there's no obvious way to disable it in the notification settings. How to get rid of this nonsense popup that I must manually close every time I open my MacBooks lid?

email password showing automatically mac book pro 12.4 My email password has suddenly started showing when I login to my web based email (not mail). This is insecure and I want to be asked for the password. I cannot identify why this has suddenly started nor can I see my email password in keychain access. No other account is affected.

Bug in Passwords app: passwords without username compromised Since I updated to macOS 15.4, in my passwords app, every single password without username is marked as compromised. These passwords don't appear in the security section in the app; yet, when we search the password, it is marked as compromised. When I try to add a new password without username it is marked as compromised. However, when I add the very same password with a username, the warning doesn't appear. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Do you think these passwords are really compromised?

The change was a result of Microsoft updating their Exchange server product. It doesn't matter how many times you provide the password; it will continue to nag you until you remove that email Account, and add it again.

Refer to If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support. Skip to the end and follow the instructions under "Remove your email account, then add it back."
