Microsoft Office 365 Changes

Hi, All:

I am also looking for a solution to this issue. SAML, WS-Federation, OAuth are the new authentication methods I can use. Please weigh in.

Thanks!

Also, I did some research. This solution looks promising: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/780398/wordpress-plugins-oauth-and-microsoft-365.html

Hope this helps!

Hi @rudymalmquist,

As long as you’re using an App Password, you should be good. Basically, Microsoft made a change on their end that won’t allow you to connect with your normal password. Instead, you can create an App Password in your Microsoft account and use that.

This guide on their site will walk you through creating an App Password:

Just use it in place of your regular password and your SMTP connection should be good.

I hope that helps!

Have a great day!
