The only curveball in this is they are using a Hybrid environment. I opened a ticket with Microsoft of this matter and the level one tech told me I need app passwords but he didn't answer the modern authentication question. I'm trying to get clarity on this matter.

If #2 doesn’t work, then reboot. If #2 still doesn’t work, then it is spelled wrong!
Copy and paste please!. If #2 still doesn’t work, then the reg key is not in the correct place.
