Since the beta, I'm constantly being asked for my password for my live.com email address. It's never done this before.

Anyone else seeing the same?
 
I had the same happen and fixed it by deleting the account and re-adding it as new. I noticed that it took me to a webpage logging to authorize the device, something I think is new for outlook.com/live.com.
Anyway, it fixes this this issue, at least for me it did.
 
It does that for me only when I lose connection. If I ignore it my email still works fine.
 
FWIW, hold on to your hat for a few days. The Win 10 Anniversary Update started getting pushed out to Fast/Slow Ring subs a few days ago and it went public today - my guess is that their servers are slammed. My two Outlook.com accounts keep choking/timing out while my O365 Business accounts are working fine...
 
Had it happen on PB4 too. So I've deleted and re-added the account. Added via outlook rather than exchange.
 
FWIW, it's still not only/just the Beta SW - MS's and downdetector.com's web portals list many, many issues with login (DD's portal pulls in comments from Twitter and FB in real time) - Outlook.com has issues with logins for days...

I called in to my Office 365 service line, their servers are hammered with Win updates and they're moving a lot of backend from AWS to their Azure backbone. Cheers...

content servers are separate from outlook servers.
