When I try to access 2FA desktop Outlook accounts from Thunderbird, I am told:

You need an app passwordWe noticed that you tried to sign in with the password for your Microsoft account on one of these apps or devices. Since you’ve turned on two-step verification for sb**email address removed for privacy reasons, you need to use an app password instead for any of the following to work with two-step verification. We’ve sent this reminder to all the security info you’ve provided. If you haven’t already done this, we’ll help you set up these apps and devices with app passwords:Outlook desktop app for your PC or Mac

I successfully generated an app password, but when I tried to directly access an Outlook account with it (not through Thunderbird), the password was rejected.  What am I doing wrong?
