AADSTS90023: Invalid STS request (Python and Office365 SharePoint)

Question

I am trying to access files on my organisation's SharePoint through Python. I have installed office365-rest-python-client (v.2.5.5) and I am using Python 3.11.5 and Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. I have tried to run this code, with multiple accounts, but I always get the same error (ValueError: An error occurred while retrieving token from XML response: AADSTS90023: Invalid STS request). This error is raised in the line ctx.execute_query(). Note that for example my password does not contain any special characters. The code that I am running can be found below. I wonder if there is any sort of configuration that I need to do first. Thank you in advance.

from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext

url = "https://{netorg_number}.sharepoint.com/sites/{company_name}"
user = "******@domain.com"
password = "password"

ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(user, password):
    ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
    web = ctx.web
    ctx.load(web)
    ctx.execute_query()
    print("Authentication successful")
