Outlook.office365 with 2FA via Firefox cookies

[Bruno]

Dear offlineimap team.

I have just posted a question on stack overflow that is more of an opportunity to evolve the tool than a question per se. I hope someone gets interested in it.

Thank you very much for the wonderful tool! Here it goes:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/630277/375983

How can we use offlineimap to sync our corporate email account that sits on outlook.office365.com, when its authentication asks for a two-factor authentication (2FA) that is a Symantec VIP Access one?

I guess we could open a valid session by authenticating in firefox, and then offlineimap could use the token that is stored in firefox cookie. Does it make sense? I guess this would need some upgrading in offlineimap, and we could re-do something from another python project that makes use of session tokens from firefox cookies. Do you remember any?

Does these code snippets help?
