Please note this change does not affect SMTP AUTHВ andВ we will continueВ toВ supportВ Basic Authentication forВ itВ in Exchange OnlineВ at this time.В With theВ largeВ number ofВ solutions,В devices,В and appliances that use SMTP for sending mailВ weВ are working on ways to further secure SMTP AUTH andВ willВ continue to update you as we make progress.В This changeВ alsoВ does notВ impactВ on-premisesВ versionsВ ofВ ExchangeВ ServerВ and only applies to Exchange Online. This means that new or existingВ applicationsВ using one or more of these APIвЂ™s/protocols will not be able to use Basic Authentication when connecting toВ OfficeВ 365 mailboxesВ or endpointsВ and will need to update how theyВ authenticate. Today, we are announcing that on October 13th, 2020 we will stop supportingВ andВ retireВ Basic AuthenticationВ for Exchange Active Sync (EAS), Post Office Protocol (POP), Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP),В and Remote PowerShell (RPS)В in Exchange Online. Modern Authentication isВ a more secureВ methodВ to access data asВ compared toВ Basic Authentication.В Last year,В we decommissionedВ Basic Authentication on Outlook REST APIВ and announcedВ that on October 13th, 2020 we will stop supporting Basic Authentication forВ Exchange Web Services (EWS)В to access Exchange Online.

Over time, weвЂ™ve introducedВ Modern Authentication, which is based uponВ OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization. For manyВ years weвЂ™ve supported Basic AuthenticationВ based connectionsВ to ExchangeВ Online.В Basic AuthenticationВ means that the client applicationВ passesВ theВ username andВ password with every request.В Although simple to setup and use,В Basic Authentication makes it easier for attackers armed with todayвЂ™s tools andВ methods toВ capture usersвЂ™В credentialsВ andВ increases the chance ofВ credential re-useВ against other endpointsВ or services.
