How to fix A0002 NO AUTHENTICATE failed. in a vb6 app

Softworld Ventures 5

I have a vb6 app that will be retrieving mails from my outlook email account (example@outlook.com) which is my registered azure account ID. I can retrieve my token everytime I want to check for new mails using imap4, but on applying it later on in the app to be able to retrieve my mails, i keep getting this error: Mail Server: A0002 NO AUTHENTICATE failed.

So, what really is the issue because it was working initially when I newly created my azure account?

I have attached my app log file.

If you’re using two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Outlook account, you’ll need to generate an app-specific password for your VB6 app.

Ok. Where do I do that? In my code, the token being generated everytime I try to read my mails is what I am using as the password.
