A Microsoft app for iOS and Android devices that enables authentication with two-factor verification, phone sign-in, and code generation
To resolve the "Authentication unsuccessful" error related to Basic Authentication being disabled, you can follow these steps:
- Enable Basic Authentication: If Basic Authentication has been disabled for your account, you may need to re-enable it. You can do this using PowerShell. Run the following command:
ReplaceSet-AuthenticationPolicy -Identity <Policy Name> -AllowBasicAuthPop -AllowBasicAuthImap -AllowBasicAuthSmtp<Policy Name>with the appropriate policy name. - Refresh Tokens: After enabling Basic Authentication, you may need to refresh the tokens for your user account. You can do this with the following command:
ReplaceSet-User -Identity <user account> -STSRefreshTokensValidFrom $([System.DateTime]::UtcNow)<user account>with your actual user account. - Check SMTP Settings: Ensure that the SMTP settings in your payroll program (SIESA) are correctly configured to use the email account associated with your Microsoft service.
- Disable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): If MFA is enabled on your account, you may need to disable it temporarily to allow Basic Authentication to work.
- Review Conditional Access Policies: Make sure that there are no Conditional Access policies that block Legacy Authentication for your account.
If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to your IT department or Microsoft support for further assistance.
