Notification Settings - SMTP Settings - Less Secure Authentication


Go to solution Solved by wgstarks,

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?

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.

Ah, I had forgotten about those. 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.

well, it seems to not work anymore for me. I have been using app password for a bit now. I had to create a new app password about 1month ago, it stopped working maybe a little bit over a week ago. So I then proceeded to create a new app password in outlook, but this time it doesn't work. This is annoying. I can't create app password in gmail either.
