Thunderbird asks me to sign in every time
I have not changed my email accounts or my Google & Microsoft usernames or passwords. A few days ago when I started Thunderbird, two Google pop-ups arrive reading "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account" demanding that I deny or allow it. Why might this be happening and how do I stop it? This does not occur with other email apps such as Outlook for Windows.

Any account that uses 'Authentication Method: Oauth2' will need to be allowed access to the server.
You may be prompted for password followed by the request to allow Thunderbird access to server. You need to click on 'Accept' or else google will not allow access.
Make sure you have the latest version 128.2.3, which includes fixes for gmail OAuth2 authentication, the source of those notifications.
