Stop Outlook from asking for an account password?Dave, How do I get Outlook to stop asking me for my network password every time I send an email? I just hooked up SBC Yahoo DSL. I finally was able to get emails to send out, but now this window keeps popping up. What's the trick to solve this problem? I've been in that sort of situation, so I can commiserate. Fortunately, it's not too hard to fix if you're running Microsoft Outlook 2000 / Outlook XP. Here are the steps you'll need to take:
That should be all that's required for your copy of Microsoft Outlook to forevermore remember your password and let you use your new SBC Yahoo account without any fuss or hassles. Thanks to Jaspreet Singh, Ed Ellis and Tommy Martin for their help on this question.

I have a problem with Outlook asking for a password every 10 or 15 minutes. The appropriate check boxes are marked in the Tools > email accounts > view or change accounts window but it still insists on the pw bein entered. Any suggestions PLEASE. This one is a real annoyance. Steve Foster said, on February 15, 2006 4:47 AM:
Dave, There is more to this question than meets the eye. Outlook will also ask you for a net password if the mail service provider fails to repsond to a logon sequence within a certain time (Outlook seems to assume the password is bad rather the ISP is at fault - and some of the major UK ISPs are pretty dire in this regard!) If I remember correctly, OL2000 had a registry setting that turned this into a genuine error so that Outlook just gave up without asking for a new password and recorded an error in the progress dialogue. I can no longer find any reference to this, nor whether the same trick is even possible with OL2003. I'd appreciate any insight you have on this as it causes me a MAJOR problem. (These message boxes are a disaster is one crops up while playing World of Warcraft if you're in the middle of a fight!) John Doe said, on April 2, 2006 5:36 PM:
I have been looking around for a solution, and even called M$ support. They took me through the deletion of a registry setting (search around and you will find this solution), and I deleted and remade my account, these did not work. I also set the ammount of time that outlook will wait (Tools -> Email Accounts -> View or Change existing email accounts -> [My Account] -> Change ->More Settings ... -> Advanced -> Server Timeouts) to 10 min. Still no solution. Jithesh said, on November 7, 2006 11:58 PM:
hi,

I've had the same experience many times... spent hours on the phone with Microsoft, SBC, etc. and none of them have a clue. I ended up figuring it out myself. Voila! Outlook will stop asking for your password every 10 seconds. Don't ask me why this works because I don't know... it just does. Charu said, on November 15, 2006 11:21 AM:
Dave, I am a network administrator. I recently re-enabled a disabled account when the user came back from an absence of a few months. The user cannot Open MS Outlook 2003 anymore - it keeps asking him for his password and does not accept his password. I tried having him login with his old password, but that didn't work either. I have been able to add the inbox to my Outlook but still cannot open it. Can you help me? Thanks. Kelley Burris said, on April 25, 2007 2:46 PM:
I have switched my emails over to Outlook from Outlook Express. Since I have done this it will not accept my user ID and password, even though I am entering the correct information. I have no idea what to do because I cannot send or receive emails in Outlook or Express and I run a business where I need all of my emails on the same place. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. JeePee said, on May 23, 2007 3:47 PM:
I also had this issue in Outlook 2003, but also in indows Live Messenger and Internet Explorer 7. I spend hours and hours searching the internet and could not find the solution. The only possible solution you find on almost all forums (but does not help in most cases is to repair the protected storage system provided registry key: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684. So, here is a solution that is not even in the Microsoft knowledge base. It helped me and hopefully many others. It was found because I new exactly when it started to happen: after uninstalling a software program. The uninstall procedure removed to many registry keys...
Important: this solution contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. View the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/ Follow the next steps to solve this issue: 1. Close all running programs It is possible that additional registry keys are missing. Below is a list of all keys that should exist in the "User Shell Folders". There are different ways to add these keys again: To export and import: Registry keys that should exist in the "User Shell Folders" key. * AppData - %USERPROFILE%\Application Data MORE INFORMATION Rob Middleton said, on May 27, 2007 3:38 AM:
I had similar problem which I think is related. Ever since I changed my password on my hotmail account (which I access through OL2007) OL was asking for a password, even though the username and password were correct and I had checked the box to remember the details, it still kept asking each time I loaded OL2007. The solution for me was to use the 'repair' option under 'account settings' instead of 'change'. Outlook then checks your credentials and runs a test with the email server. I have not been asked for a password since so presumably running this repair utility changes something in the registry. Hope this helps! Ernie Nycz said, on July 3, 2007 4:08 PM:

Hi, how do I stop the error message with Outlook 2007 and Vista? Apollo said, on August 7, 2007 9:25 AM:
Hi all, this is a very common problem within MS Outlook and Outlook Express. Like many, it took lots of digging to find a solution that worked and this worked. Now, in this article they advice deleting a reg string however, you can't as the file is locked. The only work around I found was to export the registry, make the changes and re-import it.

My set up. Windows Vista and Outlook 2007. The problem. Keeps asking me to enter my network password despite checking the remember my password box. I have looked every where for the answer. No one seems to have the answer for this set up. Only other versions of outlook and windows. I'm going crazy anyone with answers is a god. erdie said, on October 9, 2007 11:18 AM:
I have also got this problem with outlook. I tried what jeepee said but I already had that key in outlook. This has only just started happening on my pc since I downgraded from office 2007 back to office xp. But I have also put a new programme on my pc ashampoo magic optimizer and I think this may be the problem, I think it may be cleaning and deleting certain files from my machine everytime it starts up. Don't know if anyone else is using something like this, I may take the magic optimizer off and see if this stops the problem. Adrian said, on October 14, 2007 1:05 AM:

I want to thank you for posting this info. I spent hours trying to fix my outlook password issue and finally I read Kelly Burris' suggestion on the registry keys, which were, indeed, missing. I uninstalled the Walmart music download service, Note to users: don't use it, and all those registry keys were gone. So, I went to my laptop and exported the shell info, imported it into my desktop, and WOW!!!!!! it worked. Thanks so much, you are a lifesaver. tony said, on January 17, 2008 4:44 PM:

When you configure your outlook account in Outlook, if you check the "Remember password" checkbox, your password will be automatically saved, it will not longer ask you to type password again when you check your email next time! Brian said, on June 29, 2008 9:44 PM:
JeePee, that totally worked, thanks. Just for the rest of you; I only created the first reg value and didn't have any of the ones on the second list, but the fix worked after I created the first reg value. danbrew said, on July 7, 2008 7:43 AM:
Congrats to Rob Middleton - see his post above on 5/27/07 at 3:38a. Worked perfectly. I was a little uncomfortable trying the registry fix, but it looks like that works too. The post from Rob, though? It took me about five seconds to go into Outlook 2007 and click on Tools/Account settings and then select the hotmail account and click on repair. That's been driving me crazy for a few years now... :) Mike said, on August 15, 2008 1:27 PM:

I have run into this problem for years, and at least on Vista/W7, the above solutions don't work for me. to get my normal accounts to work properly, I have to go into the accounts panel and click "repair" for the account that isn't remembering the password. For hotmail, it's a little different. I have to log in to hotmail using a browser, then while I'm logged in, open Outlook and do a send/receive. From then on, Outlook remembers and doesn't ask again for the hotmail password. Dennis said, on March 12, 2009 6:47 PM:
The problem I am having is, all of the users at one site access their e-mail via Outlook to an exchange server at their parent company 30 miles away. The remote site is on an internal Domain only with Server 2003 SP2. Every time they change their user account password they are prompted to enter their POP3 mail account password. Onece they re-enter that, and click remeber my password, It works just fine. Untill they change their user account password again. Da@# this is frustrating! khaise said, on March 17, 2009 10:41 AM:

Thank you! This worked for me after I tried the microsoft and all other fixes to no avail. In hindsight, it happened after uninstalling IE8 and some all of the registry values you mentioned were missing in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders". After doing this and rebooting, it worked. Great job! Mark said, on April 8, 2009 10:40 AM:

Wal Mart online Music Downloader is the culprit behind passwords/registry getting corrupted. Thousands of their customers have the problem and cannot fix the issue, they don't realize what even caused it. It took me weeks to determine the cause, only to do a system restore. First thing I did was to delete the program from my system, BAM, did it when I tried to remove it, as well as when I downloaded a song earlier. I called everybody at wal-mart, talked to their tech guys, and they knew they had/have a problem. Barrington said, on August 17, 2009 10:43 PM:
Unlike most forums the above solution is simple and actually works! Using; Windows Internet Explorer 8,Microsoft Outlook, Virgin Media Broadband using ahome computer inked to a modem using USB2. After Virgin Media recently upgrade my 2Mb to 10Mb for free, I kept on getting the, 'Enter Network Password, dialogue box, which repeatedly kept asking me for a password. I contacted the Virgin Media's help line probably at least 6 times. They kept on changing the password and giving me the wrong advice. One supervisor stated that it was the settings on my computer and a number of people told me to take it to a PC World or local computer repair shop. I was also told to look on the local Virgin Media Website, Virginmedia.com, in England. I decided to search the internet before contacting their premium rate telephone line. I tried numerous sites that were useless until I found this one, which actually worked. Since I am using Microsoft 2007 the tab was probably different, but I went to the tab that allowed me to change each e-mail account. The problem appears to be caused by the account being corrupted as I have read somewhere. I didnot change the e-mail account to a different name but to the same e-mail address. This meant that even though I couldn't tell which e-mail accounts were correct but by re-entering the same e-mail I was replacing the corrupt (faulty) e-mail with one that worked properly even though it was exactly the same address. Thanks, for the solution - sofar so good. I have place this forum on my favourites for use in future. Barrington said, on August 19, 2009 9:33 AM:
Since, posting a previous message: August 17, 2009 10:43 PM US time, the solution above actually still works properly. 1) A Person should have the correct; Username and Password, check with Independent Server Provider. 2) Follow the instructions above. The instructions as Dave admits may be different, because the different version of softwares, but find the change account - that enables you to change the name of e-mail accounts. Change the name or reinsert (refresh) the same e-mail address name and problem should be solved. 3) A moment ago, the error did came back again, but it was only after Virgin Media's Technician had to change or reinsert (refresh) my password, because somebody was phising (pretending to be Virgin Media). Sent me an e-mail asking me to provide all my e-mail details. Therefore, the problem appears to be caused by ISP altering the password. - This type of problem usually occurs because Microsoft doesn't want people to make any alterations to their software. Microsoft would probably call it anti piracy protection, but I would call it a nuisance. One moment, I shall close Microsoft Outlook and e-mails to verify that the problem is actually solved still. Microsoft Outlook 2007 asked me for the Personal Folders Password that I inputted. The problem is still solved. That means that the solution actually still works perfectly! The ISP changing the password has corrupted the e-mail accounts that have been already created. The solution is to either refresh (reinsert the e-mail account's address again), input a new address or even do both things. Amjad Saeed said, on August 20, 2009 9:24 AM:

Hi all, I am trying to resolve this issue of the enter password on the Outlook 2002 email. I tried to do the registry edit, but a Appdata folder already exists. I am not sure if I should modify it. I am not real pc savy and this issue is driving me crazy. I am running 64-bit Vista, in case that is important. Thanks. Steven said, on October 15, 2009 4:14 PM:
Another happy person gratefully assisted by JeePee's response. Not sure why MS haven't updated their KB with JeePee's response, but I'll be putting it forwarded to them as a suggested resolution - it's obvious the current listed fixes don't always solve the problem! Steven said, on October 15, 2009 5:57 PM:
Kim Green, you need to ensure _all_ listed keys are present - not just AppData. In my case, only "Local AppData" was present. As the effected machine was running Win XP, double-clicking the .REG file on the site linked to by JeePee was all I needed. I'm sure it _won't_ work on Vista, due to different path names. Vista uses "expandable strings" compared to XP's "strings", so the .reg file is full of hex data. The easiest way to solve is a couple of ways... NOTE: Before proceeding: * create a restore point via System Restore, in the event things turn sour...! In addition, my Vista experience is basic at best so there may be a couple of things that aren't 100% right. My UserShellFolders registry key in Vista: http://i34.tinypic.com/33dl186.jpg NOTE: Only 1. Export the default User Shell Folders options when a new user is created: * click Start, type in regedit, press Enter [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] with: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] * save file and exit Notepad 2. If another user exists on your PC that does not experience this issue, their User Shell Folders registry entries are probably intact. Make use of them... * ensure you are logged in as the user _not_ experiencing the password problem in Outlook 3. Enter everything in manually as per the screenshot, excluding the %USERPROFILE%\Downloads entry (not required, and varies per user?) * browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders 4. If you're trusting enough, create a .reg file with the required registry keys and import * open Notepad, and copy/paste the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
5. LAST RESORT: Re-create your Windows profile. I'm sure instructions for this process have been covered before, so Google for more info if required. Doing so should re-create the User Shell Folders as they should be. This will require the most work overall, and it's not a guaranteed fix, so it is the least ideal.

Is there a way to script the POP3 username/password or send authentication info from the command line when launching Outlook? Dave said, on January 7, 2010 8:37 AM:
This reg fix works for outlook 2010 and Windows 7 combo as well. I don't know how but changing the reg key from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming to %USERPROFILE%\Application Data fixes the prompt. Marc said, on January 18, 2010 1:02 PM:
Dave, after reading through a lot of this and being frustrated b/c the remember password box was already checked and I didn't want to try some of the other stuff because of my skill level - I unchecked it, checked it again and re entered the passwork - viola it works now. Thanks! Henry said, on January 24, 2010 2:35 AM:

None of the info here has solved my same problem. Still dealing with a useless mail progam called Outlook 2007. Password popup evey 5 seconds. Jim Stone said, on February 22, 2010 11:36 AM:
Squirekat's solution worked for me when none other would. Thanks! Phillip said, on February 23, 2010 4:02 AM:
Hi None of the above worked for me for OL2003, I changed my ISP and had to change the details of my email account like incoming and outgoing servers and password and the solution below worked for me. Completely delete old email account and then shut down the pc for a few minutes, power up again and then add the email account again. Hope this helps someone Steve Ryan said, on February 23, 2010 12:53 PM:
Squirekat, you da man! You're peculiar solution worked perfectly. Are you some kind of Shaman or Medicine Man? I think you should add a couple of steps about using incense and chanting just for the fun of it. Jerry said, on March 21, 2010 2:56 PM:
I was following the directions given in the article, but I also had remember password already checked. However I went to Tools>Email Accounts, selected the change button, selected more settings, outgoing server tab, and then checked off "use same settings as my incoming mail server". Click next and finished. I have not seen that message since. I would like to know if this works for anyone else. Carolsue said, on March 24, 2010 7:51 PM:
What worked for me: I changed my e-mail preferences from downloading e-mail automatically to just clicking on send/receive myself. I was told that having your preferences set to download mail too often caused this. Worked for me. Smiling Charles said, on April 1, 2010 8:10 PM:
Hours and hours of looking. You have got that right. Worked for me. NO MORE PASSWORD BOX!!! YEAH!!! Just wish there was a way to get Google to show this first when searching for this problem. THANKS FOR PASSING THIS INFO ON TO THE FRUSTRATED MASSES. Smiling Charles said, on April 1, 2010 8:58 PM:
BTW I just found out this fixed a problem with a password protected Excel 2007 file that went corrupt around the same time Outlook 2007 went bad. I seen a post earlier about Walmart Music. I had to uninstall Walmart Music WMA service so the new Walmart MP3 service could be installed as WMP needed to reactivate the DMR on some WMAs purchased in '08 from them.

Hi Dave:
I think there is a bigger issue here (Dave, How do I get Outlook to stop asking me for my network password every time I send an email? I just hooked up SBC Yahoo DSL. I finally was able to get emails to send out, but now this window keeps popping up. What's the trick to solve this problem?)
I think this may be an SBC issue. This happens on both my MACs and my Dell laptop. If you just hit cancel everything is fine, but it pops up constantly. Clicking the "remember password" box does not make it go away.
