There is difficulty in generating app passwords for the following accounts:

  • ******@ankushindia.in
  • ******@ankushindia.in

Efforts were made to create app passwords using the link provided in the official Microsoft article: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2274139.

The relevant Microsoft documentation can be found here: How to get and use app passwords.

However, when trying to log in with either account, an error was encountered (as shown in the attached screenshot).

Additional attempts were made to generate app passwords through the Security Info page, following the guidance in this article: Create app passwords from the Security Info preview page.

While trying to add a sign-in method, it was noted that the option to create an app password was not available — only the Microsoft Authenticator method was shown.

Here is a screenshot for reference: screenshot2 (5).png
