One of my email accounts are being asked to enter my password at least once a day in Thunderbird.
Right now I'm using 3 different email accounts on Thunderbird. All 3 of them are Office365 accounts. For some reason, 1 of the 3 accounts is prompted at least once a day, sometimes twice a day, to enter my password on the Office365 website popup that is used with the OAuth2 authentication process. It's very irritating, all 3 accounts are Microsoft Office business accounts. What would be the reason why it needs to authenticate daily? Is there no password manager to do this automatically once it's been entered once? Can I pick a different authentication method? What is the correct change to make so I don't have to keep typing in my password every day?

I have no idea why Microsoft is asking for the account to be reauthenticated. But some things to consider are change of location via a VPN? Or a paranoid sys admin for the problem account that has set a time to live on the oauth of only a couple of hours.
The volume of options Microsoft expose to business accounts and the madness that can lead to is legendary.
