Outlook 2011 keeps forgetting Gmail passwords

For some reason Outlook 2011 keeps forgetting passwords. It only forgets Gmail passwords, not Hotmail or other accounts. It seems to happen irregularly every one or two weeks.  Any idea why this happens or how to stop it?
cheers

I, too, use Outlook 2011 and will occasionally get a message that indicates, both on my Gail accounts and on my iCloud account, that no connection can be made and would I like to reenter my password. I just click "No" and, lo and behold, my mail comes pouring in. I don't think that it's a problem with Outlook - I think that with IMAP accounts there are just occasional 'hiccups' on the server side.

  • ICloud on iPhone suddenly keeps forgetting my password (and other sync issues)

    All of a sudden iCloud on my iPhone keeps forgetting my password. Sometimes I'll enter it, everything will seem to be fine and moments later it will prompt me to renter my password. This is extremely frustrating and has happened seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't been tinkering with setting or anything like that.
    I'll often be prompted to enter my iCloud password when doing things that have nothing to do with iCloud either.
    Another strange thing is that Notes, for example, still syncs correctly but all my reminders are gone. My iPhone calendar is blank now too. All of the apps are turned on in the iPhone settings. Everything on my computer is there, as well as on iCloud.com.
    I'm really baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Could the problem be on Apple's end?
    This is happening at a really inconvenient time as I'm about to do a lot of traveling and will only have my iPhone with me during this time.
    I'd appreciate any possible solutions because I'm about to lose my mind.

    Sounds like you are not using icloud, but sync.me app. Why don't you check their support page and their FAQ.

    Only happening on Office 2013 not office 2007
    One thing I did notices when I was debugging the problem.
    When I removed the office and reinstalled the problem went away for
    whole 1 week but then on Monday it start asking for password again which
    makes be thing that they is something in group policy which is causing
    this.
    We are using
     - Windows 7
     - Office 365 (2013)
     - Our emails are being hosted by Microsoft clod
    I don't know what else to try or check.

    Hi,
    Does this issue happen to all clients or a special one?
    Please first check if Logon network security under More Settings on the Microsoft Exchange
    Security tab is set to a value other than Anonymous Authentication.

  • Outlook 2010 keeps prompting for password

  • How can I make Outlook 2011 keep fonts as I set them?

    When I send an email from Outlook 2011, the fonts I have set don't seem to hold.  When a Windows user replies, I can see my original email has lost its formatting with the text showing in a variety of different fonts and sizes.  This makes for an unprofessional looking communication. Using plain text is not an option as we have coloured email signatures as part of our branding.  The signature does seem to hold its fonts.  I have tried the workaround of putting a couple of blank lines with my desired formatting at the beginning of my signature and typing my message in those lines when I send a new email.  This doesn't seem to work all the time though.
    This seems to be an old problem still unaddressed by Apple or Windows or whoever is responsible.  Is there another solution which doesn't involve using plug-ins which also seem to have varying results and can carry ads?
    If Apple wants to take over the world, they really need to get to grips with what the professional/commercial world needs from an operating system!  I am forced to use a Mac these days for business and while I find some of its attributes cool, whizzy and sometimes useful on the whole, for business use, it falls far, far short of Windows' capabilities and reliability.
    Help!

    This has nothing to do with Apple "taking over the world"  It has to do with the fact that you're probably using fonts that are not installed on the recipients computer.  Stick with standard web or Microsoft fonts and you'll be fine.
    For further questions regarding Office, you should probalby post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software since it's their stuff you're asking about:

  • Mail and iCloud keep forgetting my password

    I have three mail accounts. One of them is my iCloud ID account. A couple times a week my computer will forget the password to one or more of my accounts. At the beginning of the day yesterday, it knew all 3 accounts. By last night it had lost my iCloud account. This morning it lost the other two. This has been going on since I upgraded to Lion in December.

    Have a look here. I'm not sure if it applies to iCloud, but certainly works for Mail.

  • My outlook 2011 keeps saying error message and closing

    My outlook said the cache was full, so I went in and followed the steps it said to sync to my work system. Now my outlook will open up and shut down within about 10 seconds of opening with the error message of "Microsoft outlook must be closed because an error occurred. Any unsaved work may be lost." This is for the 2011 version of outlook for mac.

    This happened to me as well after I installed both the newest Outlook update (to enable syncing) and the latest Iphone update. I turned on SYNC to ical, and then tried to sync my iphone.  Ever since then, Outlook would crash with a database Daemen error.
    Microsoft was very helpful, but the only thing that could be done was to build a new Outlook Identity.  Click the Outlook icon while holding the OPTION button and it will open a window that shows your Outlook Identities.  Use the icons on the lower left to create a new one. If you backed up your Main Identity, you can import that mail and contacts, etc. into the new identity. 
    BTW syncing still does not work for me.  Outlook no longer crashes, and my calendar and contacts are in address book and ical, but when I go to sync my iphone it hangs on the calendar sync and never finishes. I even deleted all appointments older than 30 days and clicked the box that says "dont sync appts over 30 days" in the itunes window. No go. I am pretty disappointed with the whole mess.

  • Keeps forgetting WEP password

    I use WEP as my wife's PC doesn't seem to manage WPA.
    Once or twice a week my MacBook forgets the WEP key. When I go to Network Settings and edit the entry for my network the setting says:
    Password: none
    When I reselect 'WEP password' and check 'Show password' half of the password is missing
    So I re-enter it, turn airport on and off and usually I get back on-line. Sometimes it refuses to accept the password and I have to plug in a cable...
    After a few days it works again.
    (All the time my wife's PC is working fine - and I've tried rebooting the Access Point, a Netgear WGR614v4 latest firmware)
    ...and the MacBook has all updates including the latest shutdown squashing SMC, and it has happened since that update.
    So is this a bug, or wot?
    MacBook White 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

    Might be a bug, try this even if it says it's a bit
    different from your problem, has worked on some WEP
    as well as the stated WPA issue...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
    Actually, I have done this a few times when I have had the bug (not from following the instructions, it seemed the 'obvious' thing to try to reset things to me). So it must be a good suggestion
    It didn't help.
    Other than that, I'd run Disk Utility from the CD/DVD
    to Repair Disk & Permissions,
    then use Keychain
    Access to Repair Keychain, or replace that Key.
    I use SuperDuper for backups which runs Repair Disk before each cloning. I'll try these suggestions the next time it happens.
    Might even be a HW issue such as RAM.
    I'm starting to think my MacBook is one big hardware issue

  • MS outlook 2011 keeps crashing with yosemite 10 10  1

    MS OUTLOOK keeps crashing since upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

    You probably have some software that you keep installing that is not compatible with Yosemite. The first thing you need to do is remove MacKeeper, which is a scam. See:
    Ongoing MacKeeper fraud
    Beyond that, it's impossible to say what might be causing the problem without more information. I would suggest downloading EtreCheck:
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Run it and post the report that it generates here.

  • Outlook 2010 keeps prompting for password every morning

    Hi,
    We run Exchange 2007 on Windows server 2008. All SP and updates are up to date.
    About a month ago, two users got prompt for user credential in Outlook every morning, but other users in the domain are fine. Below are what I have tried but no help.
    1. Deleted user credential for Outlook in Credential Manager
    2. Recreated Outlook profile
    3. Disjoin and rejoin their computers to the domain
    I can repeat the problem on another computer with the user's account log in.
    The problem only happens in the morning, once the user entered the credential, Outlook starts to update new email and it will be fine for the rest of the day.
    Only two users have this problem. I can't figure out if they have anything in common. Since I can repeat the problem on another computer, I assume this problem should be related to user account.
    I need help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the Outlook 2010 password problem, please follow these steps: -
    Firstly, you try to
    change the profile.
    Open Control panel/Mail/Select the profile and click Properties.
    Select the mailbox and click the
    Change button.
    When inside the profile you will see tabs at top for
    connection and security.
    Please make sure you have selected
    Negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
    Always prompt for login credentials.
    Then check if you are using
    HTTP to connect with exchange, if so uncheck this and apply the changes.
    Close Outlook if open and reopen Outlook.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards
    Shweta@G
    Hi Goyal,
    Thank you very much for your reply. The Outlook settings are the same as you described. We do use HTTP to connect to Exchange. I unchecked it and see what happens tomorrow. but just FYI. All Outlook has the same settings with HTTP connection checked. Only
    two specific accounts have the credential issue.
    Will update you tomorrow.
    Thanks,
    Grace

  • Can't make Firefox forget GMail password. Un-tick in Options doesn't do it.

    In the past I have been able to un-tick "save passwords" or "remember passwords" in Options. Now it does not work, though the only one I'm sure about is Gmail/Google.
    Can you explain?

  • Macbook keeps forgetting mail password on restart

    Why does my macbook pro lose mail password, go to default wallpaper, load calendar when I restart or turn on my computer? How can I fix this?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
