credentials needed message keeps being sent to my android phone from microsoft.

Dear Stephen,

I am an independent advisor, and I am trying to help other users in Community with my experience in Microsoft products.

This is a phishing attempt. please do not click on links or reply to that email

I understand that this is frustrating to receive lots of spam and unwanted emails. It is even more frustrating to receive scams, spoofing and phishing emails. Scammers nowadays are using multiple methods to intimidate users.

There are couple of ways to deal with scammers and unwanted emails (I am sure that you are aware of some and you are using them, but maybe additional information in support articles will help you):

1. First of all check your spam filters and see suggestions on how to keep spam out of your inbox https://support.office.com/en-us/article/help-k...
2. Report the phishing, spam and unwanted emails https://support.office.com/en-us/article/deal-w...
3. Add emails or domains to block sender (those that were actually used to send emails - see #5) list https://support.office.com/en-us/article/block-...
4. Create specific rules for subjects or common phrases that are present in those emails https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-in... and add conditions, that are common for those emails, for example additional keywords, recipient address includes etc.
5. Nowadays some scammers have learned how to mask their emails addresses that you can see in the emails. However, in the message source you will find the real one (and the real domain) In order to view message source please check this article https://support.office.com/en-us/article/receiv...

Hope this will help your email free from Junk!

The message does Not show up as a text or as an email.    It just keeps popping up on my phone with no way to block, or report it.

Google is the problem.  Instead of explaining that they had somehow lost the ability to forward my emails from outlook, they just kept sending me ("Credentials needed") .   I went into my google account and checked everything in my setup and found nothing, no notifications, or messages telling they were having any problem.   Eventually I figured it had to be google and I tried accessing my outlook account from my phone(something I rarely do), and then I saw the problem.

Thank you all for trying to help.

Were you able to fix it?  If so, how?  You say you "saw the problem" but I'm not sure if you were able to resolve it.  Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

If you have this message probably you have some app where you use Microsoft account. For this you should check what do you have and remove the account from the app or update the data.
