Repeated requests for login

[DaveM4302]

Having to login in over and over throughout the day is aggravating. I understand the need for security, but this is ridiculous. I frequently am working on multiple tasks, and the window of time that requires a login (again) seems extremely short. I don't have this problem on any other program or software that I use.

I am running current and updated Win 10 and using Outlook 2013 as my email client.  I use the same email address and password to login and can access Windows live.  I repeatedly get request windows from 'Windows Security' asking for Microsoft Outlook login credentials.  If I enter them, the window pops up again seconds later and will do so 3 times.  If I hit cancel, I still get it 3 times with a few minutes pause.  This is annoying and captures my cursor when working thereby creating errors.
