Thunderbird not saving hotmail/outlook logins (keeps spamming all the time)
Hi. so microsoft has been SPAMMING and THREATENING me for months now that soon i won't be able to use microsoft accounts with "old" login. i guess they refer to app passwords. i just now updated thunderbird and it automatically changed all microsoft accounts to oauth2 and then it pops up a new window asking me to login.
so first time i logged into all of my microsoft accounts via thunderbird's pop-up window, it asked on every account if i want to allow thunderbird to do this and that, i clicked ALLOW. all seemed good, but then i restarted thunderbird and then it asked me to login AGAIN for all microsoft accounts. i manage over 20 accounts and this is seriously frikking annoying logging into all of them all the time. i have 2-way auth enabled with codes, so i have to keep copy-pasting those codes aswell.
why doesn't thunderbird remember the logins? even now as i'm writing this message, thunderbird popped up the login AGAIN, i didn't even restart it. wtf? why is it doing that? is there some setting or what is the issue here? why doesn't it remember the logins?
NOTE: i have custom windows 10, there MIGHT be some permission issues somewhere, but i have no idea where. thunderbird saves data just fine for other emails, such as gmail and yahoo for example. it's just microsoft accounts that no longer work. ALSO THEY USED TO WORK with app password, but on 16th this month microshit stops supporting "old" login methods, so they require oauth2 and thunderbird doesn't seem to be able to remember the logins.
can someone help? what is the issue? how to fix it? thanks.

This is a Thunderbird & not Windows issue. Have you deleted all the previous passwords stored & given Thunderbird the permission to remember the password ? It could also be due to JavaScript being turned off in Thunderbird.

can you be more specific? give specific instructions like "click on file > settings > ..etc" i have no idea which settings and where i have to change. this is so generic thing that i already know what you said. giving vague and far fetched replies isn't gonna help.
and yes i deleted the old app passwords that were saved, it still keeps asking me to login every time i open thunderbird, this is really annoying.
Something to check is that under Settings > Privacy & Security "Allow cookies from sites" is ticked.

not sure if that fixed it, but i had: accept cookies from sites = enabled accept third-party cookies = never (i changed it from never to "from visited" and today i didn't get a single login pop-up).
i had a feeling that's the issue, cos microSHlT is constantly SPYING on you and they use like 10 different domains to SPY even more. like some login.live.com outlook.com microsoft.com hotmail.com msn.com ... all of that is just thrown throughout the logins. they make it so complicated for no reason and i think 3rd party cookies messed something up.
i'm not going to test by changing that option anymore. maybe it was just some temporary spas-out, but seem to be working now.
