Question asked on Oct 23, 2013

I have two hotmail accounts, on both my ipad and iphone ... it CONSTANTLY asks for a password. I can go to account, enter it and it gets verified.  10 minutes later, it is asking for a password again, saying password incorrect.  I have:

  • Tried changing the password shorter has some blogs say. 
  • I have made them have different passwords. 
  • I have tried deleting the account, restoring the phone and recreating.  
  • It continues after the IOS 7.03 upgrade

Nothing.  Still having this issue for going on 3 months.  It is very irritating, but it seems like I am caught between MSFT and Apple.  Any ideas?


And, my exchange and gmail accounts are working just fine without this issue.  Exchange might ask for a password once a month or so, but nothing like hotmail.
