Microsoft is phasing out Basic Authentication for the higher security standards of Modern Authentication. The Modern Authentication protocols provide users more secure access to Microsoft’s systems, including K-State email. When Microsoft’s mandated Basic Authentication disablement occurs, any email application that uses Basic Authentication will no longer work properly. Therefore, if you are using Basic Authentication, you must update your authentication to send and receive your email. For more information from Microsoft on this change, please review the relevant Microsoft Blog.
What do I need to do?
If you are using the latest version of Outlook on the web, desktop, or mobile, you do not need to do anything because you already use Modern Authentication.
Modern Authentication is supported in:
- All up-to-date Outlook versions on any platform.
- Current hardware/software versions of Apple devices (iOS 11 or later, iPad 13.1 or later, and macOS 10.14 or later) support Modern Authentication natively in the built-in email app (Mail).
- Current hardware/software versions of Android devices running the Gmail app support Modern Authentication.
