Enabling two factor authentication in Outlook 2013 with Office365

This post will go over what you need to do to enable two factor authentication in Office 2013 with a backend Office365 mail server (so you don't need to use app passwords).  This process sets up the 'modern authentication' login window for Office 2013 programs.

Step one - from a Powershell command prompt run this command (info from here):
Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled $true

Step two - Add group policy to push modern authentication registry entries to Office 2013 computers

After step two is complete, I'd recommend waiting a couple days for all the users to get these settings added to their registry via group policy..  


Step three - enable 2FA from the Office Portal:
