Make sure cookies are allowed in Thunderbird. See https://support.mozilla.org/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20

Thank you christ1. I carefully checked the conditions mentioned in the post. Cookies were already all allowed. The problem remains the same. I wonder whether the problem comes from the fact that I have several Google accounts. I have to choose one account before authorising.

Multiple Gmail accounts shouldn't be a problem. Are you saying you do have a problem with one specific account only, and all others do work?

Please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡, then select Help > Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.

Hello. Always same problem with Google authentication, be it a new Google email account, a connection to Google contact, or a connection to a Google agenda. I can see the Google screen (in French) asking whether I accept sharing mails, contacts ang agenda with Thunderbird. After hiting "Accept", I come back to the TB configuration screen with "authentication failed". When trying to connect to Google Agenda, I have this sequence 4 times, that is the number of agendas I try to synchronize.

Hint: my "name" has accents (in French).

Here is the "Troubleshooting information" (without last section "Accélération graphique", because of space overflow).

Beyond cookies, make sure not to use a VPN while authenticating. Also make sure there is no other process running on your computer listening on TCP port 80, e.g. like a local web server. To test whether something is listing on port 80, in a command/dos window: netstat -an | findstr LISTEN | findstr ":80[^0-9]"

Thank you christ1. I have installed XAMPP long time ago, I thought it would not open automatically. The personal Google account works now.
