Google and Microsoft deprecated basic authentication for their email services in 2022. Both companies consider Basic authentication as an outdated industry standard, and thus they are suggesting its customer move to OAuth 2.0 token-based authorization.
On May 7, 2024, we introduced OAuth2 authentication for the Microsoft 365 email provider
Microsoft – Outlook: Starting on October 1, 2022, Basic authentication was disabled for Outlook, EWS, RPS, POP, IMAP, and EAS protocols in Exchange Online. SMTP Auth will be an exception and will only be disabled if it is not being used, when it comes to new tenants it will be a configurable parameter disabled by default. Meaning that applications that already use SMTP Auth won’t be affected by these changes and users who want to keep using SMTP Auth will be able to do it. (Source)
Google – Gmail: Starting with May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports Basic authentication and “Less secure app access” option will disappear from the google account management console if it’s not being used. (Source)
Both Google and Microsoft have restrictive rate limits in play for their cloud services.
For that reason, Qlik recommends using a bulk e-mail service such as Sendgrid, Mailchimp, or Mailgun. These services provide purpose-built solutions to handle the volume alerting and reporting solutions produce.
On May 7, 2024, we introduced OAuth2 authentication for the Microsoft 365 email provider. Keep Microsoft's API limits in mind before choosing your email provider. This includes requests per minute, concurrent requests, and size restrictions. Example: a capability such as Tabular Reporting can create large files as part of its reporting job creation, which may exceed Microsoft's service limits.
Qlik is currently investigating OAuth2 as an authorization scheme for SMTP from bulk mail solutions.

@Sonja_Bauernfeind - I visited that link (landing page) and could see the list of ideas. I then searched for and found the oAuth for SMTP idea. However, when I click on the link I get the same login page referenced in my earlier post.
Seems like authentication is something requiring focus in other areas too?
Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind ,
Unfortunately the Ideation part is very buggy , Following those steps did not solve the issue.

Hello @SDT and @GeorgeSavu Let me see what I can do for you.
Hello @SDT and @GeorgeSavu
Click Suggest a Feature before you get started.
After this, search for: oAuth authentication for SMTP on SaaS.
If nothing happens when you click Suggest Features, check that your pop up blocker isn't getting in the way.
All the best,
Sonja
No luck here.
Finally got through on another computer.
