View our Welcome Guide to learn how to use this site. DCM Thread Starter. Joined Mar 8, Messages 1, I reinstalled all my software after a crash and now, every time I open and use Outlook , it keeps asking for a "Network Password". It did not do this before and my actual network password does not work on this. How can I stop these pops? I have tried every option on the menu and cannot find anything that will cause or stop this.

Are you connected to the wireless connection when this happens? I have a wireless network but am not using it for receiving emails. I have tried all day to figure out how to post a screenshot here.
I finally figured out how to make one and now, getting it on the site will be my next task. Avoids all the security and arbitrary bugs in Outlook. Sure, Thunderbird isn't perfect either, but it's a damn sight better for all involved here. Before you make registry changes or restore system settings, be sure to check and make sure that Outlook is still configured to "Save Password".
On the resulting screen, look to see if the password is filled in and the box is checked that says "Remember Password". If not, fill in password and check that box. One last thing to check before doing anything else to your system is with the ISP.
Call them and ask if they made changes to their e-mail login process. Many times the ISP changes security protocols or proceedures requiring changes in how you connect. They usually send notification prior to doing it and telling you what to do. However, Outlook may have caught it as junk mail and you didn't see it. Anyway, look at what might have changed at about the time this started happening. Often, there is an explanation for it that you didn't recognize at the time.
I know you said you already moved on to Thunderbird and that's great. I just wanted to post a fix that worked for me when a client was having the same issue.
It involves backing up a certain registry key, changing the permissions on that registry key and then deleting it's subkey. You then reboot and re-open Outlook. It will ask for the password again and when entered, it actually gets saved this time. I know you probably won't go back and fix this problem but I always hate to find threads that talk about a problem that I am experiencing with no solution so for anyone else with the same problem, give it a try. If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem.
