Can Outlook 2013/2016 uses 2 steps verification?
Hi, I have enabled my Office 365 email account to use 2 steps verification, but after that, it only works for webmail, I tried many time to input email password when I set up Outlook 2016 or 2013...
Yes, both versions support it. For 2013 you need to enable it via reg key though, and you might as well check the value of said key for 2016: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/modern-auth-for-office-2013-and-2016?view=o365-worldwide
Make sure you have the latest updates too.
App password do not expire, and you should avoid using them where possible.

- Thanks Vasil Michev,
I will take a look on above instruction
One more thing, if i enable two-steps verification on Outlook, what if I lost my smartphone or in case my smartphone out of order, will the system provides alternative solutions?
Otherwise, I will be stuck when I access my emails from Outlook.- Yes, there are alternative methods available and an admin can always reset your MFA status.
