Unable to add google account after changing password.

more options

Hi, I recently changed the password of my Google account, and now I am facing this issue where I can't add my account in Thunderbird. I removed saved passwords and also cleared all cookies. I tried to add the account in troubleshoot mode, but the result is still the same. I don't know, but Thunderbird says my configuration was found in the Mozilla ISP database. I am guessing that is the root cause of this problem. Please someone help me with this. I have a lot of emails and uninstalling Thunderbird and setting it up again is not an option here.

be sure to have 'accept cookies' set in setting>privacy&security - and be sure to NOT enter password until google asks for it.

Please post a screenshot of the setup screen at the time you get the error message. That may help. Thank you.

I just saw that I can login google accounts in ubuntu but can't do the same in windows 11. I don't know if this error is native to windows.
