I am trying to connect my outlook using python. I have turned on the 2-factor authentication and created a new app password. I am unable to login. Please help to resolve this issue.
host = 'outlook.office365.com'
username = '#account#'
password = '#app password#'
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(host, port=993)
mail.login(username, password)
raise self.error(dat[-1])
imaplib.error: b'LOGIN failed.'
Please help to resolve this.
You can't use App passwords with Multi factor.
Your app will need to support modern auth

I have tried the Oauth2.0 authentication protocol. In the 'API Permissions' section, Office 365 exchange online is unavailable. Please find the attached file for your reference.

I'm using OAUTH2 and able to generate a token but getting a NO AUTHENTICATE on the XOAUTH2 request to the IMAP server. We need some Microsoft assistance here because of the January 2023 arbitrary deadline.
