I don't mind a straight answer because I can make a decision, but endless trolling of documentation that never really gets to the point is frustrating. They could have saved themselves some ink and just said "all version." It makes a big point about "some" systems that require app passwords and specifically calls out Gmail and Yahoo, but completely leaves off the list even though your answer and my observation say that app passwords are required.Īnd here's one that makes a big point about using app passwords for Outlook 2010 and earlier with Microsoft consumer account. Here's a general one about adding additional accounts to Outlook. I'm going to go with this answer because this seems to be in line with my observations, but I have to say that Microsoft's documentation is all over the map on this topic. If there is documentation on this specific topic one way or the other, I can't find it. Have any of you, recently, connected an MFA enabled Microsoft Account (MSA) to Outlook 2016 (desktop) without having to use an app password? We've finally come to an agreement so I can move forward, but I find it interesting that a basic question of yes or no it works or doesn't has been so elusive. They initially content that it's not within their scope. We've spent the better part of two days just going back and forth agreeing on scope. I opened a ticket with Office 365 support, but it's slow going. App Passwords add a complexity and confusion that I try to avoid. It's not that it won't work, but rather that App Passwords are really hard to explain to average users. The account can be configured, but it requires the use of an App Password. MFA is active via the web and via mobile, but Outlook 2016 will not present the modern authentication screen when initially wiring up the MSA (using autodiscover, maybe manual would be different).
I've established MFA on the MSA and it's functioning properly. The Office 365 MFA experience is behaving as expected. Many have existing MSAs that they use for personal email and they want those in Outlook 2016, side-by-side with their Office 365 email account. I've been working with customers to enable MFA on all Office 365 accounts. I am not talking about an MSA that is using a duplicate work account. I am talking about a consumer account (,, ). I understand the requirement on the Office 365 side to enable the tenant for modern authentication. I am not talking about Office 365 Azure AD MFA enabled account. I thought that the answer to this question was yes, but my recent experience is no. In other words, is modern authentication (notification, text, call) capable when wiring up an MSA to Outlook 2016? Does Outlook 2016 support MFA enabled MSAs without requiring the use of App Passwords?
