Hackers will easily attack accounts that use basic auth as it requires only a username and a password to log in. Since it is one of the oldest authentication methods, it comes with numerous security flaws. But they are all listed as guids - none has a UserName shown.Over the past few years, Microsoft has warned admins about the basic authentication deprecation in Exchange Online. There are 5 'live' (outlook/hotmail) credentials modified today. I'll need to go the Credential Manager method? I see that under Control Panel | User Accounts. You can also delete the credential from Credential Manager to force Outlook to bring up the password dialog. HOWEVER, no action I take, including these instructions, get me to a pane where I can manually (pro-actively) change my password.Īh, I see this caveat:, Office 365 Exchange online, and other Exchange users will need to wait for Outlook to ask for the password. Last account, not asked for new PW, am not getting email. Two other accounts am not asked and yet seem to be getting email. Am asked for password for 2 accounts provided get email. I have multiple hotmail accounts on MS Exchange. You can also access the old dialog through the profile setup dialog, accessible through File, Account Settings, Manage Accounts or Control Panel, Mail.Īfter opening Mail Setup dialog, click Email accounts (or the Show Profiles button if you have more than one profile).ĭouble click on the account name to open the older Change Account dialog. Enter your new password on the email tab then click OK to save and close the dialog.Ĭhange the password through the Profile dialog.
