at&t password changed. No cannot use Outlook 365
after getting a new cell phone, I went to the at&t page. It wanted me to change my user name to my email or phone#. So I chose my email address and it prompted for a new password. This changed my email password since my account and internet account got linked.
I can access my email through yahoo just fine after I changed the password.
However Office 365 would not accept a new password and the test to connect to email failed. I read somewhere that you can delete your profile and re-enter it, so I deleted the profile through windows settings and added it back. Outlook prompts me for a new profile name, which I gave it. I filled in my email and new password and the connection still fails. So I cannot even open Outlook now.
Any advice?

Hello @Nan2007,
Let’s get you back into your email.
Recently we enhanced the security measures of AT&T Mail, when accessing your E-mail with E-mail apps across different devices you will need to use Open Authentication (OAuth) or a secure mail key.
You mentioned you were using Outlook which is a Non-OAuth compatible E-mail app. With that being said you will have to go with the secure mail key option.
To create a secure mail key we will follow these steps.
We hope this helps @Nan2007, please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
