MacOS 10.13.6 Thunderbird 68.4.2

I try to add my xxx@outlook.com free account on Thunderbird. Is working on other computers, but now I get this error.

I use 2 steps auth and I've created an app password.

Hi Not a Mac user - but I would suggest that you use the Manual config option instead of the Wizard to set up the account. It might need an added step or more credentials to get past the 2 step authentication. Just a thought.
