Major platforms like Microsoft and Google are enforcing modern authentication and will stop supporting traditional SMTP authentication by Q3. This change impacts third-party apps like Cobian Backup, which use traditional SMTP to send notifications.
Proposed Solution
To adapt, these apps need to:
Implement OAuth 2.0: Update to support modern authentication.
Integrate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Ensure compatibility with 2FA.
Handle Security Codes: Manage additional verification steps.
Feasibility
Updating is feasible but requires:
Developer resources for integration.
API access from Microsoft and Google.
User reconfiguration.
This update is crucial for maintaining automatic notifications.
