There seems to be a deviation from previous releases when the so-called “Implicit Grant Flow” is used. This is an authentication process in which the authentication is solely for 10 minutes, instead of longer as used by the “Code Grant Flow”.
It is recommended to activate the “Code Grant Flow” while the bug is being sorted out. Activating the “Code Grant Flow” is quite simple:

- or specify the client secret in the connectiong string using
client-secret=VALUE.

An additional advantage that the needs to enter the verification code significantly reduces, since a so-called “refresh token” is acquired which stays valid on Exact Online unless generated on another device.
Enter client secret
Enter the client secret as shown below:
