Sharepoint online CSOM error
Hello,
I've been trying this simple CSOM code:
string siteCollectionUrl = "https://ieszambia.sharepoint.com/"; string userName = "mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons"; string password = "Put00745"; // Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl); // Namespace: http://system.security/ SecureString secureString = new SecureString(); password.ToList().ForEach(secureString.AppendChar); // Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, secureString); // Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client Site site = http://ctx.site/; ctx.Load(site); ctx.ExecuteQuery(); return View(site.Url.ToString());
and I keep getting the following error: the sign-in name or password does not match one in the microsoft account.
Even though I can log into sharepoint using those same credentials. ITs driving me crazy, what am I doing wrong?

Mhm.... i normally use the "PnP.Framework" Library and this code
SecureString securePassword = new NetworkCredential("", password).SecurePassword;PnP.Framework.AuthenticationManager auth = new PnP.Framework.AuthenticationManager(username,securePassword);ClientContext ctx = auth.GetContext(siteUrl);

spaieszambiacom If multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for this user account, use M365 app password instead of normal password.
Check below threads for more information:
- Use App Password to Authenticate with PowerShell PnP
