Use an App Password for Hotmail

I remember chatting with Microsoft not too long ago, and going through this to set up other accounts to be accessed on Mail, Outlook, and on other third-party apps.

While in Hotmail, Go To:

1. User Name(Top-Right)
2. View account (Second Option Down)
3. Security (third tap in from top-left)
4. More security options (Far-Right)
5. App passwords (Third Pane Down)
6. Create a new app password
7. Click Done
8. Use the app password provided for a synchronized app

You might need to chat with Microsoft about this. So, Go Here: Contact Us - Virtual Agent - Microsoft Support
