Hi I received this message : "The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party ema...
Your account will continue working. Microsoft is changing the way you login to it, adding some additional protections as part of the process. As some email clients do not support the required protocols/methods to enable such protection, they will stop working after Microsoft implements the changes. If you use an email app that already supports this, you will not be affected, at most you might have to reauthenticate.
If you app is not supported, you might have to look for alternative. Worst case scenario, you can always use the browser to open your account. There are some generic instructions that you can follow here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d
You should also take this opportunity to examine the security configuration for your account and make sure to add at least one multi-factor authentication method, or a passkey.

VasilMichev So logging into my hotmail account through outlook sign-in in safari browser will still work?
I simply deleted my hotmail account from my Apple Mail app on my mobile device and added this same account to my Outlook app. Is that all I need to do? Do I need the "Authenticator" app as well?
I want to make sure I don't lose any of my email and associated documents on OneDrive.
Thanks for your help.
