WIndows Live mail authentification fails and asks for a pin number after using the application password in the two step verification process.
Steps:
Windows Live Mail signon Window appears when I open Windows Live Mail
I goto Microsoft Security Settings Website(https://account.live.com/proofs/AppPassword) to create application password
I create application password
copy application password and paste it into WLM signon screen
Error message box appears and asks to enter pin number.
I am assuming it requests the pin number used to signon to Windows10
Back to WLM signon screen and enter pin
It then rejects pin number (Of course) -- invalid password.
No clue what to do next. This process worked in Windows 7 since I didn't have the option of using my Microsoft signon to sign into Windows. WLM appears to be conflicted between my Windows signon and and my Microsoft signon as I switched to a personal Windows userid, because of all the folder security issues occurring with my Microsoft signon in Windows10. But that's another story.
This is just an annoyance as I am able to cancel out of the signon screen and continue using WLM.
