disable your anti virus and try that again. They often cause issues with passwords on email.
Did you generate an app specific password after you turned on 2 step? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12408/microsoft-account-about-two-step-verification
I don't have any antivirus program.
And how i can create an app specific code?
And how exactly that works?
Every time i must generate a new code for thunderbird or i enter a different password for thunderbird?
Read the link I provided. Microsoft dreamed it up. They have instructions.
Already did that but i don't understand if everytime i need the android app to use the generated code or any other program that generate codes.
Isn't a way to use the thunderbird with one and only password for the mail account i enable 2 step verification?
You use Microsoft mail. You use their rules. There are 4 steps and none involve Android anything. The steps for generating a new app password are always the same. Repeat these steps to get a different password for every app or device that needs an app password:
Go to the Security basics page and sign in to your Microsoft account.
Select more security options.
Under App passwords, select Create a new app password. A new app password is generated and appears on your screen.
Enter this app password where you would enter your normal password.
And all these i must do it for more safety reasons?
And are really more safe????
You do not have to do anything. You apparently chose to activate 2 step on your Hotmail account. If it makes you more safe is a question to ask Microsoft. I am not sure why you continue to question all of this here. None of it has to do with Thunderbird.
I try that but thunderbird DOESN'T accept the password hotmail generated at this step "Under App passwords, select Create a new app password. A new app password is generated and appears on your screen."
So what i can do?
