Can't create App password

eltbrown
I've been here awhile

When I tried to generate an App password to connect to Outlook.

I receive the following message:

Something went wrong on our end. Please try again later.

I tried calling Rogers Support I was told I would have to wait between 20 to 30 mins...

Not happy!

Minor clarification: the latest subscription based Outlook works without an App PW. As does the free Web-based version.

I'm a reliable contributor

The whole idea of invalidating older, more secure versions of purchased Outlooks, which require an app password,  was to force us to buy the latest versions of Outlook OR to use the less secure free web based versions or buy a MS 365 subscription. So, for everyone who bought Outlook 2018 or 2019, at some point, you'll have to fork over more money to buy the latest Outlook, use the free web based or buy a 365 subscription. I don't think there are many purchase one time only applications. It wouldn't surprise me if we soon will have to buy subscriptions to operating systems. So, instead of buying Windows 12, say, we'll buy annual subscriptions over and over and over or not be able to use our desktop computers, unless we pay an annual subscription fee. I might be wrong.

How about the Android version for mobile phones?

I assume you're asking about Outlook.  I doubt it.  Probably need to use Gmail as most probably do.  Apple users typically use Mail on their devices.
