So I know this is probably answered already but I can't seem to be able to get past the MSN (I think that's what its called) for double auth of my account. It's worked fine for the past year and a half, then it just up and stopped recently. I can work on Edge, but its a pain and all my stuff is on Opera. I've cleared caches, I've checked my system.... nothing. Anyone able to help??

@tech-wendigo MSN? A screenshot might help. Though I've heard from time to time Microsoft does things to try to make more people use its browser, so perhaps that's what this is.

@sgunhouse Sorry for the crypticness, had to block some stuff out for privacy.
This is using opera. If you need the url, i can make another ss. I say MSN because that's what the tech guy said but I don't know -

@tech-wendigo Here's the error stuff too. Sorry I've been swamped. I have no idea what's going on with Microsoft and Opera.

@tech-wendigo Do you have MSN open in a tab somewhere? Or an extension related to MSN? Otherwise I don't see why MSN would care.

@sgunhouse No... I don't have many extensions and none related to Microsoft products. I have to log into a my personal page and then when I need to go into Outlook or something akin to that, I get that double auth request. No matter what button I hit, I get that error message. And I've been trying with singular pages, like using bookmarks instead of the normal home page then to a location, and that doesn't work either.

About a year ago MS Teams stopped to work in my Opera browser - could not sign in (I do not remember precise error message however). People recommended to use some user agent switcher (extension) and select Edge compatible user agent there - I did that and could use Teams again.
It is possible that some MS logon pages may treat Opera in incorrect way.Another question - do you have VPN enabled in Opera? This may sometimes cause unexplainable errors too.

@donq I never thought about the VPN. I did turn it on recently to hide from Youtube's adblockers and to do research, but that might be it...
...And it is. Thank You! Now I know to turn off the VPN when I need to log in. Thanks @sgunhouse and @donq for the help!
