Microsoft’s new Outlook security changes impact third-party apps and Gmail integration


Gmail will no longer work inside Outlook web.

“Microsoft will no longer support Basic Auth, the method in which a person provides only their username and password to sign into their account,” says David Los, partner group product manager for Outlook, in a blog post. Apple’s latest versions of iOS now support Modern Authentication by default, so if you see password prompts, you’ll need to remove and add the account again. Finally, Microsoft is also planning to remove the light version of the Outlook web app on August 19th, which was originally designed as a lightweight option for older browsers.
