Need to constantly re-enter password with Thunderbird 115

My Thunderbird was automatically updated to a completely new version the other day (115.3.1 (64-bits)). After that I need to constantly reenter password everytime I restart Thunderbird. I have restarted multiple times and it does not help.

I have 8 different email (7 of the outlook.com and 1 is live.se).

Previously everything worked fine for me. But with this new version I do not know what to do to fix this. Any ideas ?

I'll answer my own question if someone else got this.

Just found this in another post: 'edit 2 : changed account security settings from "OAuth2" to "Normal password" seems to be working fine for me now'

So I have now changed from "OAuth2" to "Password" and it seems to be working for me.
