Microsoft is enhancing security and disabling Username/Password in favor of OAuth2 authentication. While this works for the primary account, Shared Mailbox accounts will not connect with OAuth2. There is a temporary solution to re-enable the legacy authentication, but this too will be disabled in September, 2022 (according to MS Support).
