How to set up an app password for Office365?

This tutorial is no longer needed to set up your office365 account. You can simply use the Microsoft button


If you're using Office365 with double authentication, please follow this 4 steps tutorial to set up your SMTP. Mailwarm generates interactions between your email account and its own accounts. In order to make it work, you need to set-up your SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol).


For office365, you need to activate your smtp first before using it. If you haven't activated it yet, please follow this tutorial first


If you're not using Office365 please check this tutorial.


Step 1 : Reach the App passwords page

Sign in to your Office365 account and go to Additional security verification page, and then select App passwords. You'll only see this option if your admin has set up multi-factor authentication for your organization. If you don't see this option, please contact your Office 365 admin and tell them to turn on multi-factor authentication.

Step 2 : Create a new App Password

An app password is a security layer that Office365 generates, so you can use apps like Mailwarm without your main password. Select Create, type the name of the app that requires the app password, Mailwarm in our case, and then select Next.
