How to Prevent Outlook to Keep Asking for a Password (3 Steps)
By Ken White
If you are using Microsoft Outlook on a shared computer, where others can run Outlook and log into your email accounts, you can configure those accounts to prompt for a password when logging into them for security and privacy. However, if you are the only user on your computer, typing in the password for one or multiple emails accounts each time to check the account for new mail can be tedious. In that case, configure Outlook to automatically log you in.
Step 1
Open Microsoft Outlook. Click "File," then "Info" and click "Account Settings."
Step 2
Click the "Email" tab. Double-click your email account.
Step 3
Enter your login password in the "Password" text box. Click "Remember Password" beneath the text box. Click "Next." Click "Finish."
