![]() Recently Outlook on my Windows machines stopped working correctly, it would constantly prompt for a password and wouldn’t accept my app passwords or my actual password. When it comes to Office 365, the most common of these is Outlook, the typical work around for Outlook is to use an app password - essentially a generated password that can be used by the application to by-pass the MFA requirement.Īpp passwords are a kludge - they are usually quite short and not very secure compared to a long password. MFA works great most of the time however it is a pain when it comes to applications that need to access your account which cannot perform the MFA dance. I’ve been using Office 365 for a long time and like a good citizen have MFA enabled for my account (in fact I have MFA enabled for everything that I can). If you have Office365 MFA enabled and Outlook constantly prompts you for a password for your Office365 account, you may need to enable Modern Authentication in your Office365 tenant. ![]()
