Dear Sir I have Hotmail account with active step 2 verification. I use the only browser my mail but I want to use Thunderbird with my Hotmail account with step 2 verification. Thunderbird does not accept web-based email client. How do I use Hotmail with step 2 verification on Thunderbird.

Thanks

It supports application passwords. So does outlook.com. I suggest you create one as suggested in the link you were given.
