Cannot log into Microsoft outlook email accounts Cookie permissions
A browser window pops up and there's a Microsoft logo: We can't sign you in Your browser is currently set to block cookies. You need to allow cookies to use this service.
https://login.live.com/ is the URL in the mini-browser window.
This all worked in the prior version, something changed in 115.3.1 (64-bit)
Firefox is the default browser. I tried it with Edge as the default browser, same problem. It didn't used to pop up a window to login.

The cookie error is for the cookies in TB, not your web browser. Cookies must be accepted in TB Settings/Privacy & Security for OAuth2 authentication to complete and store a token in Saved Passwords.

Thanks for the info. I figured that out after struggling for a while scratching my head. Do I need to leave cookies enabled after the configuration step? I'd like to not have third-party cookies enabled just because.
You can probably stop accepting cookies after the authentication is complete, or just add an exception for the relevant MS domain.

Thanks, I'll disable them, at least now I know what it's whining about. :)
Great answer. Easy fix. posted https://login.live.com/ as a cookie exception in TB. Works just fine now.
