Currently, it needs to send a password each time, so am I correct in thinking that after 2FA is required, it will need to 2FA authenticate each time as well?

With OAuth2, the token is created once and stored in Saved Passwords, and with 2FA I think you only have to verify 'trusted' devices once.

I was just getting ready... I can update to v68 or beyond - but I'd still like to know exactly how 2FA it will work, and if it will work with O365, what glitches people have experienced with O365 , will I need to do the 2FA authentication every time TB runs, every time my browser opens, etc... From looking at the TB forums, it looks there may be alot of "issues"...and I want to be prepared for them.

</p>Thanks - this is helpful, but I don't think it will work in my situation. If I understand correctly,2020-10-21T05:37:38-07:00harrisalhttps://support.mozilla.org/bs/questions/1309540#answer-1360080<p>Thanks - this is helpful, but I don't think it will work in my situation. If I understand correctly, after 2FA is enabled on my Microsoft account, I will see an option to get an app password (as distinguished from an authentication app for my phone), which I can then use as my password on my TB O365 account. I can see how this works on my non-institutional Microsoft account (different email)....however my institution's O365 Microsoft account - which is the one I need to use for O365 email - is not recognized at the standard Microsoft account login (<a href="https://login.live.com/" rel="nofollow">https://login.live.com/</a>) it says an account does not exist - and when I do sign to the institutional O365 account (which is <a href="https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize" rel="nofollow">https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize</a>.....), there is no Security Basics link, only a "Security Info" link, and no option or indication that an "app password" option is available for 2FA. So I guess whether the "app password" option will work for me will depend on the settings the institution has allowed.
So - I appreciate that there is a way to work with non-2FA-enabled clients, and it may be useful to keep in mind, but it appears that this easy way to deal with it without changing TB versions may not work with institutionally-controlled Microsoft accounts.
The info is much appreciated, though. The other link you provided suggests that TB78+ can work with 2FA, but with alot of mucking around....

Remove the current passwords in Options/Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords, restart TB, enter the app password when prompted.
