Release 115.3.1 - Outlook passwords fail every time I open Thunderbird

Thunderbird manages 14 email accounts of mine, 12 of which are Microsoft Outlook.

Even though all my Outlook email account passwords remain stored in Thunderbird, since the latest release Outlook requires me to enter individual passwords for most - but not all - of my accounts every time I open Thunderbird. This is a real pain!

Is this a known problem?

Is there a 'workaround' I can apply until the issue is resolved, please?

My Talktalk and gmail accounts have not been affected.

Thank you for both replies, Matt.

Does this mean when Microsoft don't allow normal passwords, every time I open Thunderbird I will have to enter the password for every mail I account I want to monitor in real time?

And will the Microsoft Oauth2 password be 'good' until I quit Thunderbird. That is to say I won't need to sign in after every 10 minutes Thunderbird checks for mail, and when I 'wake my PC up' after 'Sleep'?

Fortunately I only need frequent access to 4 or 5 of my accounts!
