Thunderbird asks me to re-enter Hotmail password each time I open it.

Starting yesterday, after the most recent update, every time I open/start Thunderbird the Microsoft password request box opens. I have several Hotmail accounts. I enter the correct password for each Hotmail account. If I close Thunderbird and open it, then it asks me again for the password on each account. It isn’t saving my passwords… I know the passwords work. If I go to Hotmail/Outlook.com then I can enter the same password and get to my inbox. I have version 115.2.3 (64-bit). System information: Windows 11 Home Edition, HP Pavilion DeskTop TP01
