Unable to authenticate sphinx with Confluence, using MFA to login

alo_xn1oow

Hi,

I am raising this question although I know it was answered before.

But I can't publish my sphinx documentation to confluence, having the below error of authentication.

We are using confluence server and logging in there with MFA (company id and then a message through the mobile phone with code to complete the login)

Can I publish documentation then from sphinx using the API Token or how can I achieve that?

Error:

make confluence

Running Sphinx v4.1.2

loading pickled environment... done

 

sphinxcontrib.confluencebuilder error:
