Mail app won't connect to outlook.com account

Everything was working fine until I upgraded to 10.10.1 now mail won't connect to outlook.com. I ask me for the password and say its wrong but I can go to the webpage and log in just fine. Gmail and Yahoo so far are working so it's just outlook.com that not working. Anyone else having this problem?

Could it be asking for an App passcode, if you have Two-Factor verification enabled for that account?

Nope never set that up. It worked in 10.11. Once I did the 10.11.1 update it's asking for the password and it's doing it on my iMac and MacBook so I figured it might be a bug but was seeing if anyone else had the problem or a fix.
