Create an app password for Office 365

An app password is a code that gives an app or device permission to access your Office 365 account.If your admin has turned on set up 2-step verification for your organization, and you’re using apps that connect to your Office 365 account, you’ll need to generate an app password so the app can connect to Office 365. For example, if you’re using Outlook 2016 or earlier with Office 365, you’ll need to create an app password.

  1. Check whether your Office 365 admin has turned on 2-step verification for your account. If they haven’t, when you try to do these steps you won’t see the options in Office 365.
  2. If you haven’t already done so, set up your account to use 2-step verification.
  3. Sign in to Office 365 using your password and verification code.
  4. Choose Settings Office 365 Settings button > Office 365.
  5. Choose Security & Privacy > Additional security verification.

  1. Choose Update my phone numbers used for account security. This will display the following page:
  2. At the top of the page, choose App Passwords.

  1. Choose create to get an app password.
  2. If prompted, type a name for your app password (ex. Outlook), and click Next.

Choose copy to your clipboard.

Choose copy password to clipboard. You won’t need to memorize this password but it will not be able to be viewed again so ensure you capture it before closing.

Tip: If you create another app password, you’ll be prompted to name it. For example, you might name it “Outlook.”

  1. Go to the app that you want to connect to your Office 365 account. When prompted to enter a password, paste the app password in the box.

To use the app password in Outlook

You’ll need to do these steps once.

  1. Open Outlook, such as Outlook 2010, 2013, or 2016.
  2. Wherever you’re prompted for your password, paste the app password in the box. For example, if you’ve already added your account to Outlook, when prompted paste the app password here:Paste your app password in the Password box.
  3. Or, if you’re adding your Office 365 account to Outlook, enter your app password here:

Enter your app password in both Password boxes.

  1. Restart Outlook.

Many antivirus companies have dropped the idea of version updates, or yearly updates, opting instead to continually hone the product’s skills and slipstream in new features.

Our Take on the New Surface 5… I Mean New Surface Pro

Many people are already asking whats with the new surface pro?  Is it worth an upgrade?  Well after a quick review of what the new surface can do we came up with a short list of items that we thought brought the most value to the New Surface Pro.

Our Top 3 reasons we would consider an upgrade from a Surface Pro 3 or Surface Pro 4

  1. Connectivity – With the arrival of the New Surface Pro Microsoft is finally adding the option for integrated 4G LTE.  This has been long overdue for a business tool such as the surface.  We all want to compute on the go and now we can much more easily.
  2. Battery Life – Microsoft claims that the New Surface Pro will last up to 13.5 hours on a single charge. This compares to nine hours with the Surface Pro 4 which is a significant improvement.  This claim is based on figures that refer to video playback so I’m hopefully optimistic that it translates to similar increases overall.
  3. Size Matters – Surface Pro is both lighter and quieter. There’s no longer a fan inside the m3 and i5 models, thus reducing the weight of the i5 version from 1.73 lbs to 1.7 lbs.  And if you’re upgrading from the Surface Pro 3 you go from 1.76 to 1.7 and get a larger display to boot.

Interesting and notable mentions: Though price is similar to the Surface Pro 4, Microsoft’s actually charging more because the Surface Pen ($99) is no longer included.

Our Opinion: The New Surface Pro is likely a practical and worthwhile update for Surface 3 Owners.  Surface Pro 4 owners are unlikely to be motivated to upgrade unless battery life and 4G connectivity are essential or important deciding factors.
