Hello Malcolm, Because of a change in iCloud security standards, app-specific passwords are now required for any third-party app/application, including Microsoft products, in order to access iCloud data.
Therefore, in order for you to continue to use Microsoft Outlook to access your iCloud account, you will need to generate an app-specific password. The following link will take you to an article that describes how this is done. It’s really quite easy. As a side note, you can use this newly created password for more than one app/application.

Hello fellow list members. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on the issue I am having with iCloud and Outlook2016 running on a Windows10 system. I have downloaded iCloud for Windows and have it correctly configured I can access my photos and iCloud Drive. However, when I start Outlook2016 I am asked to log into my iCloud account. Having entered what I believe are the correct details – my Apple ID and its password the dialog box reappears as something is incorrectly entered. I have ticked the remember password checkbox but to no avail. I can sign into iCloud with Internet Explorer but cannot get Outlook to login. Any thoughts welcome. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
