Alternatives to SMTP basic authentication

Arthur Osman
Arthur Osman August 26, 2020

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a plan to discontinue basic auth on SMTP?  I thought OAUTH2 was being introduced but someone said to me that there are no changes to SMTP Basic Auth.  What happens if Office 365 turn it off next month?

Regards

Arthur

Hi @Arthur Osman 

If I'm not mistaken Microsoft is suppose to discontinue it soon, but I believe they've extended the timeline. On the other hand Google is still supporting it for the meantime and should follow suite. Atlassian has an EAP release for oAuth but I believe by the time providers such as Microsoft and Google draw a date to an EOL for basic auth, there should be an alternative in place.
