TB 78.14.0 (64) Linux Mint

Post by Maurux »

I use TB for several email accounts from different providers. And it always worked perfectly with all of them. However, since 2021-09-28 I began to get a login error in the outlook 365 corporate account. I access this same account from three different computers (all with Linux mint) and from none I can access from the indicated date.
TB 78.14.0 (64)
Linux Mint 20.02
Kernel: 5.4.0-88-generic

The strange thing is that from the web mail I can access perfectly without having changed anything.

The error that appears when you try to connect is: "Login to server outlook.office365.com with user name xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.com failed"

It allows me to Cancel, retry or enter a new password.
Upon retrying and re-entering the password, the same banner appears.

On other sites I read that disabling the two-step login solved this issue, however, I went through all the security options of my profile in office365 and that option does not appear.

I appreciate any suggestions or help in this regard.
Thanks

The problem was that the password was expired. But from the webmail it did not warn me anything. Only when I wanted to open the account from a browser where I never connected to that account before.
