How to set up an app password for Office365?

MANDATORY FOR ALL OFFICE365 ACCOUNTS WITH DOUBLE AUTHENTICATION "ENFORCED", to check if it is the case please follow these steps

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.
