WHMCS Two-Factor Authentication for Office 365

[easy-hosting]

Has anyone set this up?

 

We have enabled Two-Factor Authentication  in Office 365 (or more it was forced by MS), and now our connections from WHMCS for POP (ticket system) are being rejected. We can't see any way to enable 2FA in WHMCS, and searching for the issue doesn't produce any valid information. 2FA now can't be turned off in Office 365.

 

Anyone been able to resolve this?

Are you using the App Password generated for said account?
If not, you will need to generate a new one.

We generated one for our accounts@ account and named it "WHMCS". 
Then you go into your email settings. 

smtp.office365.com
smtp port 587
SMTP Username: Email Address
SMTP Password: App Password.
TLS.

Unfortunately we tried App Passwords and it didn't work, for both WHMCS and Thunderbird. So we have had to just setup one of our other domains in one of our servers to do POP and have the email forwarded from our actual email accounts to it. Of course when we send out, that's OK, so it comes from our actual email accounts.
