Action Required: Is Your Device OAuth Ready? Microsoft Discontinuing Basic Authentication For Scan-to-Email

Microsoft has announced that Exchange Online will permanently discontinue support for Basic Authentication with Client Submission (SMPT AUTH) starting Marc 1st 2026 with 100% enforcement by April 30th 2026

This affects all devices and applications using scan-to-email functionality via Basic Auth.

KEY DATES:

March 1st 2026 – Gradual rejections begin

April; 30th 2026 – Full rejection of Basic Auth

 

What you need to do:

  • Check your current scan-to-email setup
  • Check your device has compatibility with OAuth
  • Update settings to use OAuth with SMTP AUTH (if your device is compatible)
  • Contact us for assistance if you have any questions

This change was previously scheduled for September 2025 but has been extended to allow more preparation time
