How to Change Password in Outlook 365?

You must have to update the password for your Microsoft 365 account if your mailbox is housed on Microsoft 365 (Office 365) and you utilize one of the Microsoft subscriptions. This will also alter your Outlook password.

Go to https://www.office.com/ and log in. Click on the top right corner of your profile and choose View Account with your credentials;

Select Change Password, on the page that opens (https://myaccount.microsoft.com/?ref=MeControl);

In the new window, enter the old password, set a new one, and confirm;

Save the changes;
Close Outlook; Outlook will prompt you for a password the next time you connect;
Make a new password for your account.

If you forget or can’t remember the password for your Microsoft 365 work account, you may reset it using the self-service password reset page.

Update your password through your account management interface or the web-based email service if you’re using a different email provider. After that, you must replace the Outlook stored password.

Change Outlook 365’s Saved Email Password

You must update the stored password in the Outlook connection settings if your Outlook is set up to connect to an external email provider (Gmail, Apple, Yahoo, etc.) and your Outlook is configured to connect to a mailbox using the POP3/IMAP protocol.

Tip. See the article How to set up a Gmail account in Outlook for more information.
