I tried cutting and pasting the password stored in Thunderbird for OWA access to the same email account and it doesn't work.

I don't get it. How does Thunderbird have access to the email account in question, but not the browser web page?

Any help figuring this out would be most appreciated, thank you.

outlook.com accounts in TB use an oauth:// token in Saved Passwords, which is different from the normal account password used to access the account in webmail.
