Known issue/”An Error Occurred”: There is a known problem with passwords updating when you have the Microsoft Authenticator App on your mobile device and you are using other Office 356 apps (e.g. Outlook, Teams) with the same account on that device. If you change your OTC password and you have already authenticated your account that day using the Microsoft Authenticator App, your new password may not be able to update on your other Microsoft mobile apps until the next authentication cycle (up to 24 hours). The best solution, in this case, is to remove your OTC email account from your device and then re-add it.
