Thunderbird Gmail OAuth2 failing with Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to accounts.google.com
TB version: 115.1.0 (64-bit) Windows 10 (corporate laptop)
Fresh laptop, fresh install of TB.
When trying to connect [email protected] (not really my email), TB correctly detects that my domain is hosted at Google, configures IMAP and SMTP for OAuth2, and pops up the window to authenticate.
Instead of an authentication prompt, I'm met with this error:
Text: Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to accounts.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.
