I have just set-up two step verification for my Hotmail account.

I needed to generate an app password so that I could continue using my Hotmail on my Windows Live Mail 2012 email app.

Whenever I entered the password into the window, a separate window would open up asking me to enter a PIN. When I clicked on OK it would then take me back to the password window again, which would have the old password in it.

I would then re-enter the new app password, and the same thing would happen. So I am stuck in a loop.

I contacted Microsoft about this and because Windows Live Mail 2012 is a free app, they don't support it and they told me to ask the community.

Can anyone help me?
