MailBot has been updated to version 15.68.
Outlook/Hotmail
Activation of two-factor authentication (2FA) in accounts via TOTP has been implemented. After successful activation, a secret key will be stored along with the account data, which has the following form: 3hmkerjjj6cw7kfi3
It is absolutely not necessary to use the Microsoft/Google Authenticator app to get the code from this key, on the “Email features” tab in MailBot there is a completely similar code generator, which opens by clicking on the “TOTP…” button.
Without a secret key, it will still be possible to get into the account using, for example, a recovery email, in this case you need to click on the “Sign in another way” link on this form:
Despite this, it is strongly not recommended to uncheck the “OTP secret key” box on the “Export” tab, since TOTP is the fastest and most stable confirmation method.
The checker can now also bypass 2FA via TOTP if the account string has a secret key. If there is no secret key, but there is a recovery email with a password, the checker will still be able to authorize in the account by receiving an email with a confirmation code.
Attention! So far 2FA activation is implemented only after adding a recovery email to the account. Activation after phone number verification is planned in the next versions of MailBot.
Attention! After enabling 2FA in your account, it becomes possible to authorize via POP3/IMAP/SMTP only with app password, so this password is created automatically and saved along with the account data.
The application password looks like this: lbtmyfqaycrgsvxn
