My hotmail account is supposed to no longer be supported as of Sept. 16, 2024. What do I need to do?

Feel free to reach out if you don't receive your emails after Sept 16 on your device.
Hi, I'm sorry for not being clear enough.
By re-configuring your email account on your iOS device, latest authentication method (OAuth 2.0 = more secure) will be used IF your device supports this.
If you have iOS 11.0 or higher, all should be OK.
To check which iOS version your iPhone is running, follow these steps:
Open Settings.
Scroll down and tap General.
Tap About.
Look for the number next to "Software version"
Sadly, I don't have an iOS myself so can't provide you with any screenshots.
Hope this information is more clear!

Do you know if this will impact Macs? My iPhone IOS is a high enough version and I recently updated my OS on my Mac to Sonoma v. 14.16.1. I access my email on my Mac through the Apple email icon and have by my .msn and .me emails on there.
Thanks.
