I have automated tests that until the 27th of August worked flawlessly. my testcase goes to outlook web and confirms the receipt of an email. I am now stumbling over the login process. I am able to find the loginbutton but my selenium code fails to find the input fields.

i tried modifying the selection strategy but that made no difference.

I ran some basic javascript queries in the dev console but as best as i can tell the input field is visible, clickable and on top.

Does anybody have any idea what might be the issue?

I am well aware there are much easier (stable) means to do this but my manager has a bug bear about it. he wants it exactly as is.

I am sorry that I cannot provide an answer for your question as I am not really super familiar with it (only briefly played around with it about 5 years ago), but I will say this might be a good time to play politics. If your manager is so adamant on a clearly worse solution, you might try getting some advocates on your side with some sway to influence your manager to change their mind. It could be well respected technical coworks, or, if your bold, your managers manager. That last one I recommend caution around as people can get vindictive when you go above them.
