How to connect outlook mail server which uses Multi factor authentication using java mail?

Question

I'm trying to connect outlook mail through Java Mail API. My outlook account is Multi Factor Authenticated (MFA)using ping Identity.

I can generate a ping Id token as it mentioned here.

Now my question is how can pass this token from Java mail Api to connect my outlook account ?

Instead of auth token use app password for authentication. You can generate app password from Outlook - view account -> security.
