Windows Live mail 2011 Password Issues/Windows 10

This is weird. I'm using windows live mail 2011. It was always set up to automatically connect to windows live mail without signing in. A few weeks ago it prompted me to sign in after I started the mail program. When I tried to sign in, it was telling me I had the wrong password. I exited the program and went online to access the windows live sign in. I got in with no problem. I went back to live mail and tried again - same thing, wrong password. I changed my password, got the code etc etc etc and still no go. So basically, I can get into windows live online with no problem....but using the windows live mail 2011, I keep getting the wrong password error. I am baffled. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
