How to generate app passwords for your Microsoft Account

Follow this guide to generate passwords for apps and services connected to your Microsoft Account which don't support two-factor authentication.

If you connect your Microsoft Account to a Microsoft app with two-factor authentication turned on, you'll be able to use an app like Microsoft Authenticator to generate a code to allow you to log in. But, if you're attaching something like your email to a third-party client, or older services not supported by two-factor authentication like your Xbox 360, this might not be possible. You'll need a special password generated by your account security settings to log in.

It's really easy to get one, and here are the steps you need to know.
