Outlook 2016 or newer: No action needed.Outlook for PC and Macĭepending on which version of Outlook you are using, you may need to upgrade.
Outlook on the Web already uses Microsoft’s secure login.
If you use a web browser to check your mail/calendar at then you do not need to do anything. NOTE: EKU IT\IT GEEKS will only support configuration of Outlook apps/software. If you have more than one way of checking your EKU email and calendar, you may need to take different steps for each device or application that you use. We expect to have the transition completed for all affected users by the end of the summer 2021 semester. We will roll this change out gradually, starting with students who have not taken courses within the last year that have not graduated. Now that the fall 2020 semester is approaching it is time to move forward. We originally wanted to switch earlier, but to accommodate the recent transition to online instruction and remote work, we postponed that change. This is a good thing because it will make it harder for hackers and scammers to access an account with a stolen password. Microsoft will make the change in 2021 however, we believe it is in the University’s best interest to make the change sooner. With cyber-attacks becoming not only more common but also more sophisticated, Microsoft has decided to phase out Basic Authentication. Many of these older applications use Basic Authentication, a login method that does not support two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication (MFA). These include the built-in Mail and Calendar apps that come with MacOS, iOS, and Android, as well as older desktop applications like Eudora, Pine, and Thunderbird. The best is Outlook, Microsoft Outlook for mobile devices, and Outlook on the Web. Historically, Microsoft has supported many ways of accessing email and calendar. To find out if this change will affect you and what you need to do, see Next Steps below. We expect to have the transition completed for all affected users by the end of the fall semester. When this change takes effect, some email and calendar clients and mobile apps will stop working with Office 365. Information Technology (IT) has almost completed phasing out support for Basic Authentication or legacy applications, an older, less secure way of accessing Office 365 services. Login security improvement will affect older email/calendar apps that use basic authentication or legacy authentication methods.
