Account Settings/Server Settings/Advanced.../Maximum number of server connections to cache. The default is 5 I think. Set it to 2.

I will definitely try this. Mine was set to 1, however, I will check this out. Thank you.

You can use KeePassXC for example to generate TOTP passwords.

Just went through all the headache of setting 2FA, app passwords and TOTP passwords.

But it looks like Microsoft doesn’t requires TOTP to set 2FA and app passwords, I used an e-mail account instead. Problem is that I realized it too late, and I have now KeepassXC generating TOTP passwords.

This app password thing may not last forever, though. I particularly don’t think it will.

It’s getting hard to live.

Not at all, but it might mean you have to get rid of your toxic relationship with "free" e-mail providers.
