Azure AD MFA
my CIO was speaking to a colluege and was told that there is a way to have MFA but not use App Passwords? ITs been my understanding that APP Passwords are a must with MFA as the Native mail clients ...

The thing with app passwords is that they are simply a workaround, they bypass MFA and should generally be avoided. Every Microsoft application nowadays supports modern authentication, and thus MFA, and so do some of the third-party apps (Mail client on recent versions of iOS). There might still be the occasional app that doesn't support it, but the decision here is between using that app or increased security overall.

Don't recall the exact version as I'm an Android user, I believe it's iOS 11 or so.
