Hi Patrick, Sorry about that. MFA = Multi-factor authentication. You would provide your username and password like normal through EWS, but there would be a second password you'd provide that would come from another application, such as Google Authenticator, or MobilePass, or Duo, etc. This can be an application running on your phone to generate the code, you can have it send push requests to your phone, or the password can come from an old-school token ID generator (like the old RSA tokens used for VPNs, etc.). Office365 has support to extend EWS to include MFA as part of the login credentials. Here's a link I found on the server side to configure it for a user, to help better illustrate what this is: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-multi-factor-authentication-for-Office-365-users-8f0454b2-f51a-4d9c-bcde-2c48e41621c6 Basically I'm looking for any help if this extra authentication is being considered for evolution-ews, or if it can be considered if it currently isn't. Any other questions, please let me know!
