Description Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN 2019-12-03 09:46:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
I'm trying to authenticate to a mailbox on outlook.office365.com using the Username/Password authentication method.

The auto discovery of the domain works fine, but as soon as the account config is saved I get a "Authentication failed" error. The company IT reports that the authentication is successful.

A short test with the https://github.com/ecederstrand/exchangelib library, with the same username and password was able to list my emails. I used the example from their readme.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new EWS account from KMail config -> Add custom account
2. Enter my username and password, domain disabled
3. Click OK

OBSERVED RESULT
Account status shows: "Authentication failed"

EXPECTED RESULT
Account to connect and see my emails.

[resources/ews] Save password to wallet

Summary:
Seems like the password entered via the UI actually never gets saved anywhere.
Just do it explicitly.
Related: bug 393002, bug 390798, bug 402780

Test Plan:
1) Try to setup EWS account using autodiscovery, using Username/Password auth
2) Set Username, Password, hit "Try connect" -> it works fine
3) Hit "OK" -> observe "Authentication failure" resource error
4) Browse `akonadi-ews` via `KWalletManager` -> it's empty
5) Apply the patch, repeat 1-4 - authentication succeeds, password entry inside wallet appears
