    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    It’s asking for your iCloud (Apple ID) password.

    If you’ve forgotten it, please try resetting your Apple ID/iCloud password, the same one you use for the App Store.

    Typically, the iPhone will use Face ID (or Touch ID) for app installations. If you haven’t set this up yet, or if it prompts you to enter a password when you tap Install in the App Store, you’ll need to enter your Apple ID/iCloud password instead.

    See,

    If you forgot your Apple Account password

    This did not solve my problem. This should be simple but Microsoft Help has been absolutely useless. Can I chat?

    Hi @David Flatt

    Thanks to reaching out here.

    Password in the sense, outlook password or Iphone password. while installing required Iphone password or face identification is general for all apps. suppose for outlook its one time only once you login and set your face id authentication next time onwards, app authenticate from your face id.

    if you share your doubts little bit more. we understand and provide the exact solutions to you.

    Thanks.

    Follow these steps to install and set up Outlook on an iPhone when there is no existing Outlook password or app yet:

    1. Install Outlook for iOS
      1. On the iPhone, open the App Store.
      2. Search for “Microsoft Outlook”.
      3. Tap Install (or the cloud/download icon).
    2. Open Outlook and add the email account
      1. After installation, open the Outlook app.
      2. Tap Add Account.
      3. Enter the email address (for example, Outlook.com, Microsoft 365, or Exchange address) and tap Continue.
      4. When prompted, enter the password for the email account itself (the same password used to sign in on a PC or browser). This is not a “phone app” password; it is the email account password.
      5. If multi-factor authentication (text, email, or another app) is enabled, follow the prompts to approve the sign-in.
    3. If the iOS Mail app is asking for a password instead of Outlook If the built-in Mail app is asking for a password and Outlook is not yet set up:
      1. Go to Settings > Apps > Mail > Mail Accounts > Add Account.
      2. Select Microsoft Exchange.
      3. Enter the Outlook/Microsoft 365 email address and a description, then tap Next.
      4. Tap Sign In and enter the same email account password used on a PC or browser.
      5. Accept any permission prompts and choose what to sync, then tap Save.

    If sign-in still fails or the app keeps asking for a password that is not known, contact Microsoft support or the email provider’s support to verify the correct account password and any additional security requirements.
