Setup Office 365 Mail Password Into The

With the previous version of iOS, I was able to enter the app password into the setting for an Exchange account in Passwords and Account.

Has anyone figured out how to do the MFA to work with the iOS 12 Mail app I need to clarify.

Things have changed in iOS 12, most of the stuff on the internet was posted with old versions of iOS(pre-iOS 12) in mind.

I plan to ask Microsoft about it, but as it is related to a 3rd party app in their opinion, I came here first.

You should have done this when you first setup multi-factor authentication for your email but if you have not you will need to do so before continuing.

Please follow the steps in the below link to do so Now on your phone got to Settings.

Select Exchange. Now enter your email address and select Next.

A popup that says something to the effect Sign in to your whatever domain name goes here Exchange account using Microsoft Select Sign in.

Enter the password for your email address and select Sign in.

You should now see a screen that says Approve sign in request.

You would have to select Sign in another way at the Approve sign in request screen.

Open the Microsoft Authenticator app and make a note of the code.

Make sure that you have enough time to enter it in before the timer on the code runs out.

Select Verify. With iOS 12.3.1 all you have to do is open the Autenticator and select Approve if you chose Receive notifications for verifications when you set up the Microsoft Authenticator.

Select which options you want available to you on your phone like mail, contact, calendar, etc.
