ConnectionException "LOGIN failed." with office 365 since Microsoft activated two factor auth

[miguelangelss4]

Environment (please complete the following information):

• PHP IMAP version: 5.0.1
• PHP Version: 7.4.26
• Type of execution: wamp local on windows, and apache server

I had this lib working since years ago, but microsoft decided add two factor auth to office 365 accounts, and it broked my connection. I get "LOGIN failed." error when I try to connect:

$server = "{outlook.office365.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX";
//$server = "{outlook.office365.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX";

$mbox_connection = new PhpImap\Mailbox($server, $email, $password, __DIR__ . '/files/');

try {
    $mailsIds = $mbox_connection->searchMailbox('ALL');
} catch(\Exception $ex) {
    die("<pre>".print_r($ex, true)."</pre>");
}

I had test this two $server address, and many others.

Email is my office 365 account, and password I tested my connection account password, and other password generated in the my account office 365 web: My account / Security Info / Add sign-in method / App password In adition, I had activated two factor auth for this account.

I get a ConnectionException:

@miguelangelss4 be careful, i think you just leaked your email address and your password in the exception that you copied, in the [args] section.

You can edit your issue it to censor/remove the information.
