how to use an app password when setting up an outlook email account on iPhone.

I'm missing the option "More security options."

How can it be?

Thank you for the reply, but step 2 is where I get stuck. Because I select an outlook email, I am directed to a Microsoft link where it asks for the user name and then the password. After placing the app password in so I can log in, I receive a message that my user name and/or password are incorrect; and login fails. I have tried this on my MacBook and my iPhone, I have tried deleting and restarting each device, and I have confirmed both user name and app password numerous time. I have also tried deleting all app passwords, restarting, and generating new app passwords with same result.

I was using an app password for several years, but after a recent update, my email was logged out and I had to re-sign back in. My app password did not work and I have not been able to get it to work again.
