Screenshot of LibreOffice dialogue box with error message

I'm attaching screenshots of all the relevant steps taken to gain access for LibreOfffice to my OneDrive account. As far as I can tell, I did everything correctly, and I've doubleckecked that I entered my password correctly. I do not find the error message especially enlightening.

The whole process of asking for authorization for LibreOffice to access my OneDrive account

Well, that was frustrating. I didn't know you could only attach one file as an attachment; I thought I had added five, but only had the last one entered appear. The .zip file has five screen shots. 1. LibreOffice presenting url to be copied to browser. 2. url copied to browser. 3. the url returned to the browser. 4. the code from the url pasted into the LibreOffice dialogue box. 5. LibreOffice saying "The Specified Device is Invalid".

As I previously stated, I have verified that I entered the correct account name and password.

This is very frustrating; I'm trying to use OneDrive to prevent loosing unique files to hard drive crashes or other fatal system failures, something I have had happen to me in the past. I suppose I could edit the copy held in the local OneDrive directory and rely upon it syncing properly, but since LibreOffice has this ability built into it, I would like to use it. Someday I might be needing to access someone elses OneDrive account.

I have the same problem using LibreOffice 5.4.3.2

Onedrive Integration isn't working at all. My user and pass are correct and I have tried pasting the whole URL and just in the code in the auth dialog. Has anyone fixed this or at least knows what's going on.

Just would like to add a +1 for a solution to this.  I need to use LibreOffice with Onedrive and can't believe this is not working.  Why can't authentication be done with app passwords or something simple like that?  I have tried this 10000 times and each time it fails.  enter the code each time and it gives me the same error "The Specified Device is Invalid"
