Microsoft does not want your password!

Can you provide a little bit more detail? Microsoft wants you to use Outlook & share IMAP Password?

Your IMAP password is your Bell Webmail password. Someone wants to access your account!

Did you receive this in an email or text message? If so, delete it. Do not reply! to it! Treat it like fraud, spam, theft, etc. Do not open any links!

Thank you for sharing this with the Bell Community Forum.

Take care.

I have been using outlook on with my Sympatico bell account.  Microsoft wants to migrate to the "New Outlook"

Trying to complete this process for the migration but Microsoft keeps telling me a new an "App Password", apparently one time password from my provider.  The chat BOT doesn't recognize this issue.  Any ideas?
