Steps to add an Office 365 account with Multi-factor Authentication enforced to work with the Mail App iOS or Later are as follows. Download the Microsoft Authenticator app onto your phone. 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.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenarios.
Scenario 1:
Microsoft Outlook connects to your primary mailbox in an on-premises Exchange server by using RPC, and it also connects to another mailbox that's located in Office 365.
Scenario 2:
You migrate your mailbox to Office 365 from an Exchange server that Outlook connects to by using RPC.
In these scenarios, you're prompted for credentials, and Outlook doesn't use Modern Authentication to connect to Office 365. After you enter your credentials, they're transmitted to Office 365 instead of to a token.
Cause
