I have been using Outlook 2021 Home & Business on a new Windows 11 laptop for several months with no problems; however, today when doing a send/receive for my outlook.com email account, a username/password prompt keeps popping up, but it keeps failing with the error message "Your email server rejected your login", although I have not changed any settings anywhere, and the server name, username and password are all correct.

According to this webpage ...
POP, IMAP, and SMTP settings for Outlook.com - Microsoft Support

... the settings for POP setup should be like this ...

... and my Outlook profile matches this exactly, except it has no "Authentication method" setting ...

My Outlook 2021 is Version 2408, Build 17928.2156. What do I need to do to get it working again?
