talonserver Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Yeah I know, I should probably not be using this, but I did... I'm using an Outlook.com account to send notifications from my Unraid server. This morning I received an email from Microsoft that says that in September access will be disabled. Not to the account mind you, but clients using "a less secure authentication method." I knew this was coming, but not that I'm here I'm not sure what to do as I'd rather not set up yet another account for push notifications... or am I going to have to? Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I don’t have any suggestions for you but I’m curious what Microsoft’s reasoning is that they consider an SSL/TLS connection to be insecure? Quote Link to comment
talonserver Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 As far as I'm aware... Microsoft wants two factor, so not username and password over SMTP any longer. They made this change in Outlook desktop/other email clients some years ago. Quote Link to comment
Solution wgstarks Posted July 1 Solution Share Posted July 1 I only use Outlook at work because I don’t get a choice so not really an expert but maybe you can still use app passwords. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-get-and-use-app-passwords-5896ed9b-4263-e681-128a-a6f2979a7944 Quote Link to comment

That's probably the solution. I'll find out when they mandate it in September, but Unraid was able to send a test message with the app password. Quote Link to comment
wgstarks Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I read the support doc I linked and there isn’t anything there yet saying that this feature was being removed. Doesn’t mean that can’t change though I guess. Quote Link to comment
