modern email authentication

Post by bbrink » Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:06 am

Hello,

My apologies if this is addressed elsewhere in the forum, I did a brief search and did not find it.

Are there plans to add or have you added "modern email authentication", since basic auth is deprecated and will no longer be supported in Microsoft Exchange, and by extension Office 365?

Thank you,

Bob

Hi Bob,

I think this is what you're referring to. You will need to create an App Password:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/ ... -passwords

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

So instead of using your usual credentials on the smtp auth you would use an app password created for the purpose as explained in the links above.

Hi,

Actually OAUTH 2.0. The requirements I see are...
URL
Client ID
Scope
Client Secret

I have one other post regarding OAUTH from last April. I found a work around for that one, it was for a web app, not email.

Since email is moving this way "soon" I was wondering if an update mail client or built in handling of OAUTH for email might be in the works.

I asked Marcus for clarification.

Macro Scheduler does not support oAuth. To send emails from Macro Scheduler you'd need to use a service that lets you provide a username/password or equivalent
