WebDAV + rclone fails with 401 Unauthorized when using 2FA (app password)
I’m trying to set up synchronization between Mailbox.org Drive and a local directory using rclone on Linux.
After enabling 2FA on my Mailbox.org account, I created a separate app password specifically for rclone, but I’m unable to authenticate via WebDAV.
Setup:
* OS: Debian 12
* rclone version: 1.70.3
rclone config:
* Storage type: webdav
* WebDAV vendor: other
* URL: https://dav.mailbox.org/servlet/webdav.infostore/Userstore
* User: name@custom-domain.dk
* Password: app password (format: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)
Test command:
rclone ls mailbox:
Result:
ERROR : error listing: couldn't list files: 401 Unauthorized
NOTICE: Failed to ls with 2 errors: last error was: couldn't list files: 401 Unauthorized
Notes:
* The app password was created after enabling 2FA
* Login via web interface works as expected
* This setup worked previously before enabling 2FA (using normal password)
* No special headers or advanced config used in rclone
Questions:
1. Does Mailbox.org WebDAV support app passwords when 2FA is enabled?
2. Is the WebDAV endpoint (`/servlet/webdav.infostore/Userstore`) still correct for this use case?
3. Are there any known limitations or additional requirements when using WebDAV with 2FA-enabled accounts?
4. Has anyone successfully used rclone with Mailbox.org Drive and 2FA enabled?
Any guidance or working configuration examples would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
