Step 5: Now log into Outlook.Office365.com on a browser. It will instruct the user to setup security for their account. Typically people have phone/text verification.
Step 6: After you got the text, the screen will give you an “app password” keep this handy! You will need it more than once if you have many computer setup with Office 365.
Final Tips!
Outlook will prompt you for this new “app password” shortly. For me it took 2 hours.
iPhone it took 12 hours
Browser, immediately. You need your real password for this and it will offer a text code.
If you are using it on the browser only, you will need to put in the real password every time and get the text code. I tested it and it does not work with “keep me logged in”
