Switching my old Microsoft account to modern authentication or whatever
So Microsoft sent one of those "take action or lose access to your account (btw, Thunderbird sux, use Outlook instead, nudge, nudge, wink, wink)" e-mails to me. So I've beeen jumping through an unholy amount of hoops in order to find out what I'm supposed to do in order to fix whatever it is that needs fixing. I seem to have found the answer here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d. They were even "kind" enough to include specific instructions for Thunderbird. I did step 1 successfully, but unfortunately I'm stuck at step 2 because the Authetication method selector won't offer OAuth2 at all, as you can see here: https://i.postimg.cc/mrSstFtt/Captura.png.
1. What am I doing wrong? 2. How can I set my outgoing mail server to use OAuth2, then? 3. Do I need to anyway?
Hope you can give me a hand, so far this has been way more trouble than it needed to be. And after I sort it out I still need to do the same for K-9 on my phone -_-'.

Well, that was surprisingly fast and painless. Funnily enough, I'd just found that other address in Outlook's official help. Or should I say "unhelp". Now to fiddle with K-9, then. Thanks, man!
