Error when connecting to SharePoint online

I have a problem to establish a connection to sharepoint online.
I have chosen as connection type sharepoint online. When I enter the Url of the sitecollection and the user and password correctly, I get the Error message: "Unable to connect to the remote Server. The sign-in name or password does not match one in the Microsoft account system."
As the account that I use to connect has not MFA enabled the reason for the error must be, that webcon uses legacy authentication, which is not allowed on our tenant due to conditional access policies.
So my question is, if there isn't another authentication possibility at webcon?
We actually use Version 2023.1.2.99. Could it be, that the problem would be solved on a newer Version?

Hi Mathias,

what do you want to achieve? An alternative to the SharePoint actions would be do implement your use case via the REST API.
This way you could use other authentication methods like OAuth with a Microsoft Entra Application registration with client ID and secret.

Best regads,

Hi Daniel

It would be an option to use the SharePoint Rest API but I don't know, how to set up the connection in Webcon. I manged to set up a connection in Postman but I don't know how to do it in Webcon.

I can establish a connection to Graph API in Webon but the graph api doesn't provide the same functionality as the sharepoint API, e.g. ensureUser and for that is no option.
