Automatic SQL server 2019 Backup to Azure blob

Question

Hello, good afternoon community. I have a server running SQL Server 2019 with 2 databases. I need through SSMS to configure a daily backup (every day at a specific time) of both databases and host them in a blob storage within Azure. I know it's in "maintenance plans" but when I run the task, it throws me an error. What could be the problem? Do I need to enter any credentials?
