resistant to password spray attacks), as well that it can leverage Microsoft 365 functionality like Conditional Access to limit protocols to certain locations. The benefits of Modern Authentication are of course that it is a more secure model (e.g. That does not mean however developers and organizations can sit back and relax: Act sooner rather than later, the end of Basic Authentication is nigh. With Modern Authentication available, vendors, developers as well as organizations running custom scripts are given time to adopt Modern Authentication where applicable.īy delaying the original end date of Basic Authentication from Octoto Q3’ish 2021 due to the Corona situation, the adoption period is increased significantly. This support was much needed with the imminent deactivation of Basic Authentication. Not too long ago, the Exchange product group enabled Modern Authentication (or OAuth2) support for IMAP and SMTP in Exchange Online, and shortly after for POP3 as well.

This technique should work for other mail clients, as well.įor questions, there is an informative discussion in the OS/2 World forum on this very topic. To configure a second system to access the same account, simply paste (or type) the same app password. You should be prompted for a new password. Close the settings dialog and attempt to access the account. Note that in both cases, SSL/TLS should be selected for the connection security, and specifically not STARTTLS. Make the same change for the GMail SMTP server. Ensure that the authentication method is set for Normal password (Google will not accept encrypted passwords for this). Open SeaMonkey Mail or Thunderbird, and access the server settings for your GMail account. Once you have generated the app password, copy it to your clipboard. Remember, that in order to do this, you must have 2-Step-Verification enabled for your account.
To generate the app password, follow the directions available here. There are several methods to work around this, but perhaps the easiest is simply to generate what Google calls an app password, which is, quite simply, a 16-digit passcode which gives a non-Google application or device permission to access your Google Account.
The available OAuth2 authentication mechanism in the latest SeaMonkey and Thunderbird for the OS/2 platform is unable to properly complete the authentication procedure with GMail, and will leave the application in a hung state. At the end of May, 2022, GMail discontinued use of standard authentication methods for POP3, IMAP, and SMTP connections.
