Outlook Keeps Asking for Your Password? How to Make It Stop

Usually Windows is holding a stale saved sign-in, or the account uses an older sign-in method the provider has switched off. Sign out of Office, remove old Office entries in Credential Manager, sign back in, and for older email providers switch to modern sign-in or an app password.
