Office 365 – 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful

  • Hey – This plugin was working great up until Just before December – now it is giving “5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful”

    I can still login to Office 365 in the browser. I’ve followed guides and similar threads on here – All settings are correct and the website has not been changed or new plugins installed.

    I just upgraded and when sending a test email am getting:

    Sending the message: Ajax Error

    Any ideas?

  • Can you run the connectivity test and post that here?

    What web host are you on?

    Here is the connectivity test – we are using port 587

    SMTP smtp.office365.com:25 Open ?? SMTP-STARTTLS office365.com No Yes No No Yes
    SMTP smtp.office365.com:465 Open No – – – – – –
    SMTP smtp.office365.com:587 Open ?? SMTP-STARTTLS office365.com No Yes No No Yes
    Mandrill API mandrillapp.com:443 Open ?? HTTPS mandrillapp.com n/a
    SendGrid API api.sendgrid.com:443 Open ?? HTTPS sendgrid.com n/a
    Mailgun API api.mailgun.net:443 Open ?? HTTPS mailgun.net n/a

    Summary:

    ? ?? Port 25 can be used for SMTP to smtp.office365.com.
    ? ?? Port 587 can be used for SMTP to smtp.office365.com.
    ? ?? Port 443 can be used with the Mandrill API.
    ? ?? Port 443 can be used with the SendGrid API.

    Just upgraded to 2.0.9 which has got rid of the Ajax Error – but back to:

    We are also getting the 5.7.3 error when trying to submit a message through out website’s contact form:

    5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful [QB1PR01CA0017.CANPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM]

    Our setup is:
    Outgoing Mail Server Hostname: smtp.office365.com
    Outgoing Mail Server Port: 587
    https://screencast.com/t/gGPtS01KIK

    The authenticating O365 user and password are correct and have been tested.

    We have a similar problem, using Office365 gives the error “Incorrect authentication data”.
    It has been working correctly for months but has been giving that error for a few days now.
    The username and password are correct because the email can be accessed through the web.

    Our setup is:
    Outgoing Mail Server Hostname: smtp.office365.com
    Outgoing Mail Server Port: 587

    Please, could you help me?

    Hello,

    Please contact me:
    https://postmansmtp.com/contact

    Just to add some info.

    We keep getting the authentication error.
    5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful [YQXPR01CA0086.CANPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM]

    O365 username and password have not changed/correct.

    We are still on WP 5.2.5 (because of our WP-theme not playing nice with WP 5.3).
    Postman SMTP 2.0.10

    We had the exact same issue.
    Our System Administrator enabled “Azure Security defaults” then everything stopped working.

    The fix for us was turning it off and then 10 minutes later everything works fine.

    I need to enable this feature again, I will look into fixing the issue while this feature is enabled.

    Interesting (@wel781)!
    Following…

    Seeing the same issue – username+password are correct. SMTP is enabled in 365.

    This issue is a sticky post on this forum and I put the link too for other users:
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/authentication-data-errors/

    so this is due to the “Azure Security defaults” ? any solution for now?

    Just disable Azure Security policy.

    If you are obligated to enable it, DO NOT. Adding a conditional access through this link Conditional Access | Policies will get the job done.
