App password option not visible

Steel Contributor

Hi,

I've tried everything to make app password option visible on my sign in methods. I have disabled and enabled possibility to create app passwords, I have cleared it on my user and also enabled MFA.

Does anyone have any experience with app password not showing even though all settings are configured as it should be?

Yours sincerely,
Aref Halmstrand

Found the solution... I had to enforce MFA to get the possibility to have an app password.

Hello Aref,

I've enabled App Password and I have created few App Passwords. But I cant use them when I sign in. I can't use them both as sign in password and as 2factor authentication. When I fill out my original password in outlook desktop app, it asks 2factor authentication to approve from my mobile authenticator app. After I approve, its just login and don't ask App Password.
